richard cortez - separate ways

separate ways

i said i'll love you forever
i said let's stay together
you said i think we'd be better off
going our separate ways

and then i asked if you missed me
and if you wanted to kiss me
you said of course
but we're better off
going our separate ways

you said i'm sorry baby
i never meant to make you cry
you said i'm sorry baby
this is me saying goodbye

so c'mon
let's not drag it out
move on
get up and get out
c'mon
let's go our separate ways

i said i haven't been sleeping
and that i just can't stop weeping
you said there's things you should know before we both
go our separate ways

and then you set free all your secrets
and like a flock of great egrets
the sky filled with little white lies
all flying their separate ways

you said i'm sorry baby
i never meant to tell you lies
you said i'm sorry baby
i'm just no good at goodbyes

so c'mon
let's not drag it out
move on
get up and get out
c'mon
let's go out separate ways

and i was just devastated
love murdered premeditated
and when i turned to look back
you already had gone your separate way
