Why Does It Take So Long to Say Goodbye lyrics

Tired of running

I've seen these times before

Desperation

Our candle burns no more

Everything we know

Takes us so far away

Trace your steps back

Don't let 'em guide your way

When I leave

Oh, I leave for good

No coming back

Like you said I would

You crossed the line

Why does it take so long to say goodbye?

Every time

I'm just a castaway

Cast out into the sea

Another rainy night

Tears from the endless fights

Oh, I carried you

Carried you on my own

So take the love you've had

And pretend you always know

When I leave

Oh, I leave for good

No coming back

Like you said I would

You crossed the line

Why does it take so long to say goodbye?

Every time

Say goodbye

Every time

When I leave

Oh, I leave for good

No coming back

Like you said I would

You've crossed the line

Why does it take so long to say goodbye?

Every time

Say goodbye

Every time, yeah
