I can't afford to let you get away
I never seem to decide
Two by four you watch as I parade
Another batch of clowns
Patiently holding on
Bitter sweet you and I
We can't say our goodbyes
Cause our old love never dies
And others pay with hearts broken wide
And we try really try
But free's a word that terrifies
Cause our old love never dies
Every time we try to say goodbye
It's just goodnight
Kids we stayed that day back when
We met and you were only 24
There's no reward for our get away
Strung up by guilt by dawn
Holding on and on
Bitter sweet you and I
We can't say our goodbyes
The timing is never right
We tell ourselves every time
And we try, really try
To move on and hope it will subside
With boys and girls who buy our lies
But every time we try to say goodbye
It's just good night
Bittersweet you and I
We can say our goodbyes
Cause our old love never dies
And other pay with hearts broken wide
Being free is alright
But free's a word that terrifies
Cause our old love never dies
