    Ohhhh
    Oooohhh
    Ohhhh
    [Verse 1:]
    I had a problem and I wasn't aware
    I neglected love that we once shared, nooo
    So I tried real hard to be prepared
    'Cause I knew you felt as though I did not care
    So I'll go run...
    [Chorus:]
    So I'll go run and hide (so I don't)
    So I don't see those goodbye eyes
    Even though I brought it on myself, I just don't wanna see the pain
    I don't feel much to cry
    So don't you show those goodbye eyes
    The words end all the same
    [Verse 2:]
    Oh hey
    Now I close the door hmmm, to be in solitare
    Get myself together to show you how much I care
    So if you don't accept it
    Don't worry you're not to blame
    Cause I showed her love before, now I feel so ashamed
    So I'll go run...
    [Chorus:]
    So I'll go run and hide
    So I don't see those goodbye eyes
    Even though I brought it on myself, I just don't wanna see the pain
    I don't feel much to cry (no I don't)
    So don't you show those goodbye eyes
    The words end all the same
    Tell me a chance is in the plans (oh, tell me baby)
    I promise I'll be a better man (a man)
    I played myself once before but never again
    Don't think I would be the fool to neglect you once again
    [Chorus: x2]
    So I'll go run and hide
    So I don't see those goodbye eyes
    Even though I brought it on myself, I just don't wanna see the pain
    I don't feel much to cry (no I don't)
    So don't you show those goodbye eyes
    The words end all the same
    I get on my hands and knees, I just don't wanna see those goodbye eyes
    So I'll go run and hide.
    So I'll go run and hide.
    I don't wanna see those goodbye eyes...
    Don't show me
    Those goodbye eyes
