Slow Goodbye (Roy Lesley)

I can read the lines On your face and they're telling me Everything I already know Yeah I hold you in my arms But you're light years away from me Slowly sinking under, alone Yeah So I act cool On the outside But it's eating me alive 'Cause when it comes to you There's nothing I can do I can't make you love me when you don't I see it in your eyes I'm the compromise No, I can't take another slow goodbye Sitting in the park, after dark, smoking cigarettes Biting all the black off of my nails 'Cause all I ever wanted was what you took away from me Try to make it right, but it's too late I'm a hopeless case on the inside And it's eating me alive 'Cause when it comes to you There's nothing I can do I can't make you love me when you don't I see it in your eyes I'm the compromise No, I can't take another slow goodbye No I die A million times every time when you look me in the eye I die 'Cause I've heard it all before The same pain We go around and around But I still end up with nothing But heartache 'Cause when it comes to you There's nothing I can do I can't make you love me when you don't I see it in your eyes I'm the compromise No, I can't take another slow goodbye No There's nothing I can do Nothing I can do I can't make you love me when you don't I see it in your eyes I'm the compromise No, I can't take another slow goodbye
