Lyrics
If you've got something left to say
You'd better say it now
Anything but "stay"
Just say it now
We know we've reached the end
We just don't know how
"Well, at least we'll still be friends"
Yeah, one last useless vow
One last useless vow
"There are different ways to live"
Yeah, I know that stuff
"Other ways to give"
Yeah, all that stuff
But holding onto used to be
Is not enough
Memory's not life
And it's not love
We should let it all go
It never stays the same
So, why does it hurt me like this
When you say that I've changed?
When you say that I've aged?
Say I'm afraid
And all the tears you cry
They're not tears for me
Regrets about your life
They're not regrets for me
It never turns out how you want
Why can't you see?
It all just slips away
It always slips away
Eventually
So, if you've got nothing left to say
Just say, "Goodbye"
Turn your face away
And say, "Goodbye"
You know we've reached the end
You just don't know why
And you know we can't pretend
After all this time
So, just let it all go
Nothing ever stays the same
So, why does it hurt me like this
To say that I've changed?
To say that I've aged?
Say I'm afraid
But there are long, long nights when I lay awake
And I think of what I've done
Of how I've thrown my sweetest dreams away
And what I've really become
And however hard I try
I will always feel regret
However hard I try
I will never forget
I will never forget
I will never forget
I will never forget
I will never forget
I will never forget
I will never forget
I will never forget
I will never forget
