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   The trouble is   You and me   Strong words, so nonchalant   Come on,   We don't mean half of what we say   You say you like gettin' what you want   Me too   But 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   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      Don't you say goodbye   Don't you say goodbye   When you're walking out that door   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 say goodbye   Even with your eyes   Baby, don't you say goodbye      I know you care somewhere   Inside you hide the truth away   (Behind a thin disguise)   Your heart will change your mind someday   Baby, don't you say goodbye
