I Don't Want to Say Goodbye

I swore to myself that I would never again write you
Another little love song but I can't help myself
Lord knows I tried, I tried
As I said goodbye, goodbye
Just another little heartbreak for myself

But I wanna break the rules and make it
Love's a game, so let's keep playing
Time will pass and life will just go by

I don't wanna say hello to a new love
Telling my friends that I'm sick of
All of the dark nights
Hold tight onto the next one
Goodbye to what could have been
Trying to make sense of everything
And I hold to the promise I'll be fine
'Cause I don't wanna say goodbye
I don't wanna say goodbye

Now I'm out on the outside
Looking back in on a window at what we had
Nothing but a little love to give
And a place to call home
A broken kingdom full of broken dreamers
And I wish that I could hide away
While I watched it fall

But I wanna break the rules and make it
Love's a game, so let's keep playing
Time will pass and life will just go by

I don't wanna say hello to a new love
Telling my friends that I'm sick of
All of the dark nights
Hold tight onto the next one
Goodbye to what could have been
Trying to make sense of everything
And I hold to the promise I'll be fine
'Cause I don't wanna say goodbye

Watch it crash
Watch it melt away
I don't wanna say goodbye
You took my heart
You took my fire away

And I go back to the place where it all began
And I go back to us
I don't wanna say goodbye

I don't wanna say hello to a new love
Telling my friends that I'm sick of
All of the dark nights
Hold tight onto the next one
Goodbye to what could have been
Trying to make sense of everything
And I hold to the promise I'll be fine
'Cause I don't wanna say goodbye
I don't wanna say goodbye
I don't wanna say goodbye
