Before The Goodbye

Britney Spears

Lay me babe in your arms and you hold me tight (tight) 
Tryin' not to watch the clock 
Tick-tickin' as the time goes by 
I don't know, but you'd best be on your way 
But I'm wishing I could make you stay 
Stay with me for awhile 

Though... You're near 
Still....I wanna make it clear 
Love.... I will always be around 

You're leaving, I'm waiting 
Forgive me 
I'm always missing you 
Before the goodbye 
I feel it, already 
Forgive me 
I'm always missing you 
Before the goodbye 

Come home for me and let you know 
Still don't let my feelings show 
How much I was missing you 
All the little things that make me weak 
Your eyes and the way you speak 
Without you baby, I'm not near (I'm not near) 

Though... You're near 
Still....I wanna make it clear 
Love.... I will always be around 

You're leaving, I'm waiting 
Forgive me 
I'm always missing you 
Before the goodbye 
I feel it, already 
Forgive me 
I'm always missing you 
Before the goodbye 

You're leaving, I'm waiting 
Forgive me 
I'm always missing you 
Before the goodbye 
I feel it, already 
Forgive me 
I'm always missing you 
Before the goodbye 

You're leaving, I'm waiting 
Forgive me 
I'm always missing you 
Before the goodbye 
I feel it, already 
Forgive me 
I'm always missing you 
Before the goodbye 

You're leaving, I'm waiting 
Forgive me 
I'm always missing you 
Before the goodbye
