your heart is not open so i must go
the spell has been broken, i loved you so
freedom comes when you learn to let go
creation comes when you learn to say no

you were my lesson i had to learn
i was your fortress you had to burn
pain is a warning that something′s wrong
i pray to god that it won′t be long
do ya wanna go higher?

chorus:

there′s nothing left to try
there′s no place left to hide
there′s no greater power
than the power of good-bye

your heart is not open so i must go
the spell has been broken, i loved you so
you were my lesson i had to learn
i was your fortress

chorus2:

there′s nothing left to lose
there′s no more heart to bruise
there′s no greater power
than the power of good-bye

learn to say good-bye
i yearn to say good-bye

(chorus, substituting "no more places" for "no place left")
(chorus2)
