We sit and watch umbrellas fly 
I'm trying to keep my newspaper dry 
I hear myself say, 
"My boat's leaving now" 
...so we shake hands and cry 
Now I must wave goodbye 
Wave goodbye 
 
You know 
I don't want to cry again 
Don't want to cry again 
I don't want to say goodbye 
Don't wanna cry again 
I don't wanna run away 
I don't want to race this pain 
I'll never see your face again 
 
Oh but how  
How can you say 
That I didn't try... 
You see things in the depths of my eyes 
That my love's run dry 
No... 
 
We leave to their goodbyes 
I've come to depend on the look in  
their eyes 
My blood's sweet for pain 
The wind and the rain bring back  
words of a song  
And they say wave goodbye 
Wave goodbye 
 
You know 
I don't want to fall again 
I don't wanna know this pain 
I don't want another friend 
I don't wanna try again 
Don't want to see you hurt 
Don't let me see you hurt 
I don't wanna cry again 
I'll never see your face again 
 
How can you say  
That I didn't try 
You know I did 
You see things 
in the depths of my eyes 
That my love's run dry 
(I don't wanna cry again...) 
 
...So I read to myself 
A chance of a lifetime to see new horizons
