Neither One Of Us [Wants To Be The First To Say Goodbye] lyrics

It's sad to think we're not gonna make it

And it's gotten to the point where we just can't fake it

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'm gonna do without you

And I guess you must be wondering that same thing too

So we go on, go on together living a lie

Because neither one of us wants to be the first to say goodbye

Everytime I find the nerve

Everytime I find the nerve to say I'm leaving

Memories, those old memories get in my way

Lord knows, it's only me

Oh, he knows it's me that I'm deceiving

When it comes to saying goodbye

That's a simple word that I just cannot say

There can be no way, there can be no way

This can have a happy ending, no, no

So we just go on hurting and pretending

And convincing ourselves to give it just one more try

Because neither one of us wants to be the first to say

Neither one of us wants to be the first to say

Neither one of us wants to be the first to say

Farewell my love, goodbye

Goodbye
