Don't Say Goodbye

I guess I knew we'd come to this
Where the love can't cool the anger
So many times settled with a kiss
Love in trouble, trouble is you and me
Strong words, so nonchalant, come on
We don't mean half of what we say
You say you lacking, but you won't admit to
That I, I'll never say I never want to love you again

Don't you say goodbye
Don't you say goodbye
When you're walking out that door
Don't you say goodbye
Don't you say goodbye
Baby, don't you say goodbye

It's not a matter of weak or strong
Arms can hold you
Or they can hold you down
But I can dance to the saddest song
But I won't let you stay where you don't belong
Oh, so while you're out there busy bein' free
Just remember
One of those roads leads back to me
Back to me

Don't you say goodbye
Don't you say goodbye
When you're walking out that door
Be careful what you say
You might be back someday
Baby, don't you say goodbye

I want you
I need you
But I'll let you go if you want it that way
It's your choice
But my voice
Will whisper every day
Every step of the way

Don't say goodbye
Girl, I'll tell you why
It just might turn out that way
Don't you say goodbye
Even with your eyes
Baby, don't you say goodbye

I know you care somewhere (I see you care about)
Inside you hide the truth away (don't you see you're)
(Behind a thin disguise)
Your heart will change your mind someday (say goodbye)
Baby, don't you say goodbye

Don't you say goodbye
Don't you say goodbye
When you're walking out that door
Be careful what you say
You might be back someday
Baby, don't you say goodbye

Baby, don't you say goodbye
Baby, don't you say goodbye
