It´s sad to think
We´re not gonna make it
And it´s gotten to the point
Where we just can fake it (Ooh)

For some ungodly reason
We just won´t let it down (let it down)
I guess neither one of us (neither one of us)
Wants to be the first to say goodbye

I keep on wondering (wondering)
What I´m gonna do with out ya (do without you)
And I guess you must be
Wondering that same thing too (Ooh)

So we go on
Go on together living our lives (living our lives)
Because neither one of us (neither one of us)
Wants to be the first to say goodbye

Ooh every time I find the nerve
Every time I find the nerve to say I´m leavin´ (leavin´)
Oh, memories, those old memories
Get in my way (my way my way)

Oh (Ooh) Lord knows it´s only me only knows it´s only me
That I´m deceiving
When it comes to say goodbye
That´s a simple word that I just cannot say

There can be no way (be no way)
This can have a happy ending (happy ending)
So we just go on (we go on)
Hurting and pretending

And convincing ourselves
To give it just one more try (one more try)
Because neither one of us (Neither one of us)
Wants to be the first to say

Neither one of us (neither one of us)
Wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us (Neither one of us)
Wants to be the first to say

Farewell my love, goodbye (goodbye)
