You ask me to read this letter that you wrote the night before And you really should know better 'cause she's worth a whole lot More Brother you know you can't run away and hide Is it you don't want to see her cry is that why You won't go and say goodbye Then you said the fault was yours and you really were to blame Was as if to close the doors and to hide away in shame Brother you know you can't run away and hide Is it you don't want to see her cry is that why You won't go and say goodbye Then you said the fault was yours and you really were to blame Was as if to close the doors and to hide away in shame Yes and why tell me why can't you see that it's not right It's a lie, it's a lie, don't hide your sorrows in the night Brother you know you can't run away and hide Is it you don't want to see her cry is that why You won't go and say goodbye Then you said the fault was yours and you really were to blame Was as if to close the doors and to hide away in shame And I know the pain is double, but for her it's even worse You must face her with her trouble, though it's hurting like a curse Brother you know you can't run away and hide Is it you don't want to see her cry is that why You won't go and say goodbye Then you said the fault was yours and you really were to blame Was as if to close the doors and to hide away in shame Brother you know you can't run away and hide Is it you don't want to see her cry is that why You won't go and say goodbye Then you said the fault was yours and you really were to blame Was as if to close the doors and to hide away in shame Go and say good, go and say good, go and say goodbye
