Sometimes Goodbye - Terri Clark

IЂ™ve got an ice-cold cup of coffee

And a paper I havenЂ™t read

A canyon in my heart

And a hammer in my head

And a waitress with an empty stare

That looks right through me

IЂ™m sitting at this table

And IЂ™m balancing the salt

Weighing out my choices

Baby itЂ™s nobodyЂ™s fault

And IЂ™m torn up by these voices

Talking to me

You say thereЂ™s no good reason

For me to walk away

You say thereЂ™s so much good between us

Who wouldnЂ™t want to stay

But how can I be with you

If deep down I believe

IЂ™ll lose a part of me

Chorus: sometimes goodbye is the only open door

I canЂ™t turn back when I know thereЂ™s something more

I gotta find what my heart beats for

IЂ™ve got a half of page of reasons

And a napkin full of tears

From trying to pull my spirit

Through the pocket of my fears

As the lunch crowd empties out

Into the city

And there may not be a way for me

To make you understand

IЂ™ll write down the words IЂ™m feeling

And IЂ™ll leave it in your hands

But the memories of our love

IЂ™m taking with me

You say thereЂ™s no good reason

For me to walk away

You say weЂ™re meant to be together

And IЂ™m making a mistake

But this emptiness inside me

Has brought me to this road and I have to let you go

Chorus: sometimes goodbye is the only open door

I canЂ™t turn back when I know thereЂ™s something more

I gotta find what my heart beats for

For the passion everlasting

For the deepest dream

For a chance to love like that

There is no in between

Chorus: sometimes goodbye is the only open door

I canЂ™t turn back when I know thereЂ™s something more

I gotta find what my hear beats for
