Tomorrow used to be a day away
Now love is gone and you're into someone far away
I never thought the day would come
When I would see his hand not mine
Holding on to yours because I could not find the time
And now I can't deny
Nothing lasts forever
But I don't want to leave and see the teardrops in your eyes
I don't want to live to see the day you say goodbye

Now there comes another part of life I go alone
Sitting at a bar with Chris that I can't leave
'Cause my house ain't no home
I just want to touch you girl
I want to feel you close to me
Without your love I would give up now and walk away so easily
So maybe while we're young we'll figure out together
That even with the pain there's a remedy
We'll be all right
I don't want to live to see the day you say goodbye

When I first met you I couldn't love anyone
But you stole my dreams and you made me see
That I can walk into the sun and I could still be me
And now I can't deny
Nothing lasts forever
But I don't want to leave and see the teardrops in your eyes
So baby why break up
Let's figure out together
That even with the pain there's a remedy
And we'll be alright
I don't want to live to see the day you say goodbye
We say goodbye
Oh goodbye
Goodbye

    i think its about a guy who loved a girl but didn't want her until he seen her with someone else, and now regrets having lost and doesn't want to say goodbye to their love.
