It Takes A Lot Of Strength To Say Goodbye

Ooh, I'm hurting inside

Simply because, it takes a lot of strength to say goodbye

Oh, and it's so hard to do, I wonder if I'm wrong

I thought the whole thing over

And I still can't tell you why it's gone

Baby, I can't accept the pain

That we bring, that we bring to each other

There's nothing to gain from hurting one another

So I'm walking in the rain (walking in the rain), ooh

Looking for the strength to say goodbye

(Looking for the strength to say goodbye)

My man, I wanna call you and say it's on again

It's not like I don't love you, I don't love you anymore

I fought the whole thing over

And it's not like it was before you're gone, no more

Just one too many times

You say you don't want me and then apologize

'Cause you know your love won't hurt me

I hope I'm acting wisely, I'm walking in the rain (walking in the rain)

Looking for the strength to say goodbye

No more what's wrong in the morning

No more, no more crisis every night

This is not a warning, you've had that before

Baby, I'm tired, I'm tired

I can't take it, I won't take it anymore

Oh, Lord, I wanna call you and say it's over now

And it's not like I don't love, I don't love you anymore

I thought the whole thing over

And I still can't tell you why it's wrong

And oh girl, I can't accept the pain

That we bring, that we bring

That we bring to each other

There's nothing to gain from hurting one another

So I'm walking in the rain (oh, I'm walking)

Looking for the strength to say goodbye

(Looking for the strength to say goodbye)

That's what you got me doing, baby

Oh, I've got so much to do

I can't see just what to do (oh, what to do) oh
