I Wasn't The One (Who Said Goodbye)

"I Wasn't The One (Who Said Goodbye)" was the second single from Agnetha Fältskog's third English-language solo album I Stand Alone, released in 1987.

The song was a duet with the album's producer Peter Cetera, the former singer and bass guitar player for the American rock band Chicago. They also recorded a Spanish language version of the song, "Yo No Fui (Quien Dijo Adios)", for the South American market, and which was included on the South American version of I Stand Alone.

The song peaked at No.93 in both the U.S. and Canada. It was a more successful Adult Contemporary hit peaking at No.19 on Billboard AC chart and No.21 on RPM AC chart in Canada.

Fältskog did not do any promotion for the song in North America, while the video shot in Stockholm did not feature Cetera. This may have attributed to the song's relatively low chart placing.

Your eyes and my eyes haven't talked in quite a while
Seems like a lifetime since I walked beside your smile
There's a dark cloud that's hanging above
Memories never lie, still we talk about the way that it was
And I think we both know the feelings haven't died.

I wasn't the one who said goodbye, oh no
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night,
And I won't be the one to say that we can't try.

Your touch and my touch haven't spoken for some time
You say we've both changed and you're always on my mind
Always on my mind... I can tell you that it's over and done,
But I would only lose being close to the one that I want
So go on, and ask me if I'm still in love with you.

I wasn't the one who said goodbye, oh no
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night,
And I won't be the one to say that we can't try.

No, there was no need for you to ask
Oh please don't ask,
You ought to know by now,
Oh babe, I want you back.
I wasn't the one who said goodbye, oh no
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night,
I wasn't the one who said goodbye
I wasn't the one who said goodbye
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night,
I wasn't the one who said goodbye
I wasn't the one who said goodbye
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night,
I wasn't the one who said goodbye
I wasn't the one who said goodbye
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night....
