Go and Say Goodbye

You ask me to read this letter

That you wrote the night before

And you really should know better

'Cause she's worth a whole lot more

Brother, you know you can't run away and hide

Is it you don't want to see her cry, is that why

You won't go and say goodbye?

Then you said the fault was yours

And you really were to blame

'Twas as if to close the doors

And to hide away in shame

Brother, you know you can't run away and hide

Is it you don't want to see her cry, is that why

You won't go and say goodbye?

Yes, and why, tell me why?

Can't you see that it's not right?

It's a lie, it's a lie

Don't hide your sorrow in the night

Brother, you know you can't run away and hide

Is it you don't want to see her cry, is that why

You won't go and say goodbye?

And I know the pain is double

But for her it's even worse

You must face her with the trouble

'Though it's hurting like a curse

Brother, you know you can't run away and hide

Is it you don't want to see her cry, is that why

You won't go and say goodbye?

Brother, you know you can't run away and hide

Is it you don't want to see her cry, is that why

You won't go and say

Gonna go and say, gonna go and say goodbye
