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
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 the 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

Every time I find the nerve
Every time I find the nerve to say, I'm leaving
Memories, those old memories
Get in my way

Lord knows it's only me 
Only know it's only me that I'm deceiving
When it comes to saying goodbye
That 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
