If a love as strong as ours Couldn't make it all the way, Can anything make sense at all? If a love so deep and true Couldn't stand the test of time, Then mount everest could slide, And Jerusalem could fall [Chorus] Is nothing sacred anymore? Is forever just another word? Is a promise something people used to keep When love was worth fighting for? If we can say good-bye, If we can say good-bye, Is nothing sacred anymore? If we can say good-bye Is nothing sacred anymore? I can hear the final words Every sentence that was said Don't know what turned our lives around It doesn't matter who was right, There's no justice in a dream Never thought a heart could break Without making any sound [Chorus] If we can say good-bye, If we can say good-bye, Is nothing sacred anymore? If we can say good-bye If we can say good-bye Is nothing sacred anymore? Our love was as certain as the dawn, As solid and save as any love could be Our love was the star you wished upon, And you thought that i saved you, Could've sworn that you saved me [Chorus] If we can say good-bye, If we can say good-bye, Is nothing sacred anymore? [Chorus] If we can say good-bye, If we can say good-bye, Is nothing sacred anymore? If we can say good-bye, If we can say good-bye... Is nothing sacred anymore... Is nothing sacred anymore... Is nothing sacred anymore...
