I could tell that it was over
 When her lips met mine
 It was an emptiness in her voice
 Hesitation when she smiled
 She didn't have to say a word
 It was just so plain to see
 She had found what she'd been looking for
 And I knew it wasn't me

 I saw goodbye in her eyes
 I don't think I can change it
 There's no way to disguise
 We will never make it

 Sometimes I feel like a clown
 Who can't wash off his make-up
 The life she wanted ‒ it was gone
 Prince Charming ‒ I wasn't
 But I would trade a thousand Babylons
 To be in her arms tomorrow
 But like the tide her love [bad word] and gone
 And it's time for me to go

 I saw goodbye in her eyes
 I don't think I can change it
 There's no way to disguise
 We will never make it

 Now she sees right through me

 Should I hold on to what we've got
 Is it just a waste of time?
 One thing that I know for sure
 I saw goodbye in her eyes

 I saw goodbye in her eyes

 I know you got somebody new now
 All my candles have burned out
 He's gonna love the way you shine
 So did I
 So don't smile at me if it ain't what you mean
 (Goodbye)

 With that goodbye in your eyes
 I know that I can't change it (now you see right through me)
 There's no way to disguise
 We will never make it

 I saw goodbye in your eyes
 I know that I can't change it (now you see right through me, goodbye in your eyes!)
 Should I hold on
 We will never make it (now you see right through me, goodbye in your eyes!)

 Should I hold on
 Is it just a waste of time?
 One thing that I know for sure
 I saw goodbye in your eyes
 I saw goodbye in your eyes
 I know that it's over
