Terri Clark Lyrics
"Sometimes Goodbye"

I've got an ice-cold cup of coffee
And a paper I havn'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
I'm sitting at a table
And I'm balancing the salt
Weighing out my choices
Baby, It's nobodys fault.

And I'm torn up by these voices talking to me
You say there's no good reason for me to walk away
You say there's so much good between us
Who would'nt want to stay.

But how can I be with you
If deep down I believe
I'll loose a part of me.

Sometimes goodbye is the only open door
I can't turn back when
I know there's something more
I gotta find what my heart beats for.

I've got a half a 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
I'll write down the words I'm feeling
And I'll leave it in your hands.

But the memories of our love I'm taking with me
You say there's no good reason for me to walk away
You say we're meant to be together and I'm making a mistake
But this emptiness inside me as brought me to this road
And I have to let you go.

Sometimes goodbye is the only open door
I can't turn back when
I know there's something more
I gotta find what my heart beats for.

For the passion everlasting
For deepest dream
For a chance to love like that
There is no in between.

Sometimes goodbye is the only open door
I can't turn back when
I know there's something more
I gotta find what my heart beats for...
