It's sad to think
That we're not gonna make it
And it's gotten to the point
That we just can't fake it
But for some ungodly reason
We just won't let it die
I guess neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say goodbye
I keep wondering
What I'll do without you
And I guess you must be wondering
That same thing too
So we go on together
Just living a lie
Because neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say goodbye
Every time I find the nerve
To say that I'm leaving
Old memories seem to get in my way
Oh, Lord knows it's only me
That I'm deceiving
Cause when it comes to saying goodbye
That's a simple word I never could say
There can be a way
This can have a happy ending
But we can't go on
Hurting and pretending
So let's convince ourselves
To give it, give it one more try
Because neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say goodbye
