I've been lost inside

Empty space in my heart 

And some things never change, oh 



How it hurts me and 

How it's tearin' me apart

And it just goes on and on 



Can you read my mind

Take a good look at my face

Could you take the time

Just to stand here in my place 



What if I'd been the one

To say goodbye, goodbye 

Could you smile when inside 

You just wanna cry, look inside

Can you read my mind, oh, whoa



When I hear your name

Feel so cold deep inside 

Still it's hard to explain, oh 



What your love meant to me

They say time will heal the pain 

But it just goes on forever 



Can you read my mind?

Have you closed the door on love

Can you be so blind?

Did you think I'd just give up?



What if I'd been the one

To say goodbye, goodbye

Could you smile when inside

You just wanna cry, wanna cry



What if I'd been the one

To say goodbye, goodbye 

Could you smile when 

It hurts so deep inside

And it never fades away

Fade away 



Time can't erase the reasons why

Count my mistakes and the heartaches

Since you said goodbye 



What if I'd been the one

To say goodbye, goodbye

Could you smile when inside

You just wanna cry, wanna cry



What if I'd been the one

To say goodbye, goodbye 

Could you smile when 

Tt hurts so deep inside

And it never fades away



Never fades away

No, it don't fade away
