(Jim Rushing/Marshall Chapman)
I never tried to change you
But the hurt is changing me
I only wanna be myself
And you won`t let that be
I can`t play an actor`s role
`Cause I can`t live a lie
Life`s too short and night`s too long
To let them pass us by
So I`ll be closing the door in the morning
And I won`t wake you when I rise
`Cause there`s nothing to say before going
You think that I said it all
So I think I`ll say goodbye
Believin` came so easy when our love was flowin` free
But there`s a wall of darkness where sunshine used to be
One more wrong tomorrow
Is one more wasted day
And holdin` on to love that`s gone
We`ll never find our way
So I`ll be closing the door in the morning
And I won`t wake you when I rise
`Cause there`s nothing to say before going
You think that I said it all
So I think I`ll say goodbye
