Neither One Of Us (Wants To Be The First To Say Goodbye)
It's sad to think we're not gonna make it
And it's gotten to the point
Where we just can't fake it
Ooh, for some ungodly reason
We just won't let it down (let it down)
I guess neither one of us (neither one of us)
Wants to be the first to say goodbye
I keep wondering (wondering)
What I'm gonna do without you (do without you)
And I guess you must be wondering the same thing too
So we go on, go on together
Living a lie (living a lie)
Because I guess neither one of us (neither one of us)
Wants to be the first to say goodbye
Oh, oh, oh, every time I find the nerve
Every time I find the nerve to say I'm leaving (leaving)
Oh, memories
Those old memories get in my way (my way, my way), ooh-ooh
Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Lord knows it's only me
Oh, He knows it's only me
That I'm deceiving you
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
When it comes to saying goodbye
That's a simple word that I just cannot say
There can be no way, there can be no way (be no way)
This can have a happy ending (happy ending)
No, no
So, we just go on (we go on)
Hurting and pretending
And convincing ourselves to give it just one more try (one more try)
Because neither one of us (neither one of us)
Ooh-ooh, wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us (neither one of us)
Wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us (neither one of us)
Wants to be the first to say
Farewell, my love
Goodbye (goodbye)
And it's gotten to the point
Where we just can't fake it
Ooh, for some ungodly reason
We just won't let it down (let it down)
I guess neither one of us (neither one of us)
Wants to be the first to say goodbye
I keep wondering (wondering)
What I'm gonna do without you (do without you)
And I guess you must be wondering the same thing too
So we go on, go on together
Living a lie (living a lie)
Because I guess neither one of us (neither one of us)
Wants to be the first to say goodbye
Oh, oh, oh, every time I find the nerve
Every time I find the nerve to say I'm leaving (leaving)
Oh, memories
Those old memories get in my way (my way, my way), ooh-ooh
Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Lord knows it's only me
Oh, He knows it's only me
That I'm deceiving you
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
When it comes to saying goodbye
That's a simple word that I just cannot say
There can be no way, there can be no way (be no way)
This can have a happy ending (happy ending)
No, no
So, we just go on (we go on)
Hurting and pretending
And convincing ourselves to give it just one more try (one more try)
Because neither one of us (neither one of us)
Ooh-ooh, wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us (neither one of us)
Wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us (neither one of us)
Wants to be the first to say
Farewell, my love
Goodbye (goodbye)
