Saying Goodbye Lyrics - The Promise - Deborah Cox

Why do most dudes choose to 

Leave the girl that's been down from day one? 

I tried to love you, really love you 

Gave my all 

It's been a year since you told me goodbye 

It hurts but I'm finally letting you go 

Took that much time for me to recognize 

That breaking was building my heart 

Thank you for saying goodbye, making me cry 

Leaving me here all alone in the night 

You saved my life, that beautiful night 

You said goodbye 

Thank you for saying goodbye, found someone new 

Yes I'm so grateful, I owe that to you 

Told me to tell you he's thankful too 

For saying goodbye 

Would I have a man I love could just do me like this 

But you really only set me up for a day such as this 

You say rebound, I say touchdown 

No more games 

It's been a year since you told me goodbye 

And it hurts but I'm finally letting you go 

Took that much time for me to recognize 

That breaking was building my heart 

Thank you for saying goodbye, making me cry 

Leaving me here all alone in the night 

You saved my life, that beautiful night 

You said goodbye 

Thank you for saying goodbye, found someone new 

Yes, I'm so grateful, I owe that to you 

Told me to tell you he's thankful too 

For saying goodbye 

Wouldn't have found the love of my life 

If you hadn't told me goodbye 

And now I realize that there is such a thing 

As a goodbye 

Thank you for saying goodbye, making me cry 

Leaving me here all alone in the night 

You saved my life, that beautiful night 

You said goodbye 

Thank you for saying goodbye, found someone new 

Yes, I'm so grateful, I owe that to you 

Told me to tell you he's thankful too 

For saying goodbye 

Leaving me here all alone in the night 

Said goodbye 

Thank you for saying goodbye, found someone new 

Yes, I'm so grateful, I owe that to you 

He's thankful too for saying goodbye
