Why We Said Goodbye

I remember Sunday mornings walking on the beach

And that place we'd stop for breakfast with the old red vinyl seats

The hours of the tide chart

The way the sunlight danced upon your face

The antique roller coaster you just had to ride

I remember how you laughed at the terror in my eyes

The colour and the detail

Just like it was yesterday

And I remember how you held me the night my father died

I didn't have to tell you

I just broke down and cried

You're sewn into the fabric, the pieces of my life

And I just can't remember why we said goodbye

Up and down this Boardwalk lonely people sit

I know it wasn't perfect but nothin' ever is

The sails out in the harbour

Are searching for the wind

I just had to call you

I had to hear your voice

And tell you I still love you

We still have a choice

You're sewn into the fabric, the pieces of my life

And I just can't remember why we said goodbye

Everything I do

Leads me back to you

I know I just can't let us go

There must have been a reason, but I can't remember now

I know if I could hold you, we could work it out

You're sewn into the fabric, the pieces of my life

And girl, let's give it one more try

'Cause I just can't remember why we said goodbye
