Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your heart is not open
So I must go
The spell has been broken
I loved you so
[Verse 2]
Freedom comes when you learn to let go
Creation comes when you learn to say no
[Verse 3]
You were my lesson
I had to learn
I was your fortress
You had to burn
[Verse 4]
Pain is a warning that something's wrong
I pray to God that it won't be long
[PreChorus]
Do you wanna go higher?
[Chorus]
There's nothing left to try
There's no place left to hide
There's no greater power than the power of good-bye
[Verse 5]
Your heart is not open
So I must go
The spell has been broken
I loved you so
You were my lesson
I had to learn
I was your fortress
[Chorus]
There's nothing left to lose
There's no more heart to bruise
There's no greater power than the power of good-bye
[Bridge]
Learn to say good-bye
I yearn to say good-bye
[Chorus]
There's nothing left to try
There's no more places to hide
There's no greater power than the power of good-bye
[Chorus]
There's nothing left to lose
There's no more heart to bruise
There's no greater power than the power of good-bye
