I Guess This Is Goodbye - Quatern

by Gem   Mar 19, 2007


Despite being the perfect guy
I guess this time it is goodbye
There's times when love has had its run
A gray cloud covers up the sun

Life's no longer a happy sigh
Despite being the perfect guy
I still hold you dear in my heart
But nows the time for us to part

I just don't love you in that way
We can't keep acting every day
Despite being the perfect guy
Our loves reached the end of the line

You'll still be one of my best friends
I'm so sorry it had to end
So now I guess this is goodbye
Despite being the perfect guy ©
