夏天的眼泪 Madonna - The power of goodbye

 The power of goodbye

Madonna

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 fortress¹ you had to burn
Pain is a warning that somethings wrong
I pray to God that it wont² be long
Do ya wanna go higher?

Chorus:

Theres nothing left to try
Theres no place left to hide
Theres 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:

Theres nothing left to lose
Theres no more heart to bruise³
Theres no greater power
Than the power of good-bye

Learn to say good-bye
I yearn⁴ to say good-bye

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