When You Say Goodbye

Would you tell me
If I was strong enough
Would you wait if I was smart
Could you keep it to yourself
Until I was healed?

Would you embrace me
When your mind was on?
Somebody else can do
I deserve this humiliation that comes along
So tell me now
Tell me what I need to know
And hold me close
When I break down and cry

So tell me now
Tell me what I need to know
And hold me close
When you say goodbye

The compilation that we put together
Nine years of rock and roll
It's too intense to put on when you're still here
But as soon as you close the door
As soon as you are gone
I'm gonna cry myself to sleep
While it is on

So tell me now
Tell me what I need to know
And hold me close
When I break down and cry

So tell me now
Tell me what I need to know
And hold me close
When you say goodbye

I will probably call you up in the middle of the night
And ask you if you changed your mind
And I will probably call you up and ask you
If I misunderstood the point
Just ignore me then
But please don't hang up

I don't want to lose you
I don't want to fall asleep alone
I don't want to lose you
I don't want to taste these tears alone
But I guess the end is here

So tell me now
Tell me what I need to know
And hold me close
When I break down and cry

So tell me now
Tell me what I need to know
And hold me close
When you say goodbye
