[Verse 1: Clint Black]
I've been bound to leave you
We've known that for a while
I'm sure it's something I can't do
If I can't leave you with a smile
[Verse 2: Clint Black]
I don't know how far I'll have to go
'Til I'm sure those eyes won't cry
And in my mind I've left enough to know
That I can't leave you with a bad goodbye
[Chorus: Wynonna]
Goodbye, easier said than done
Goodbye, there's no good when you're the one
Whose goodbye you swore would never come
And in my goodbye you're finding none
[Verse 3: Clint Black]
I'm still bound to leave you
I surely don't know how
My heart won't let me put you through
What my mind said should happen now
[Verse 4: Clint Black & Wynonna, Clint Black]
I don't know where we'll go from here
There may be no way to fly
And the cloud I'm in just makes it all too clear
That I can't leave you with a bad goodbye
[Chorus: Clint Black & Wynonna]
Goodbye, easier said than done
Goodbye, there's no good when you're the one
Whose goodbye you swore would never come
And in my goodbye you're finding none
[Verse 5: Clint Black & Wynonna, Clint Black]
How can we be so far between
Where we are and one more try
And any way I look I've only seen
That I can't leave you with a bad goodbye
