Say Good-Bye

We could beat around the bush again

Play make-believe or just pretend that

Everything is still okay

When all we really have to do is say

What it is we both feel inside

And reveal the secrets we try to hide

We could live like this the rest of our lives

Or we could say—or we could say goodbye

Oh

We could say "I do" then really don't

Say "I will" even though we know we won't

Stay in love this way for good

No matter what we do

We could just tell the world our wedding plans

Even though we know we're near the end

We could say "Without you I'd die"

Or we could say—or we could say...

I don't wanna go, so don't make this

Harder than it should

I don't wanna know your reason

So just tell that me that we could

Say all the words we need to hear

"I love you" and "I love you, too, my dear"

We can take romance to heights unknown

But when we're done still feel all alone

We could find just the right words to say

That "I still love you but it's not the same"

We could take the time and clear our minds

Or we could say—or we could say goodbye

My darling, no more, no more pain, no more games

We could say goodbye
