(Jim Weatherly)

It's sad to think were not going to make it
And it's gotten to the point where we just can't fake it
or some ungodly reason, we just won't let it die
But I guess neither one of us wants to be the first to say goodbye

I keep wondering what I'm gonna do without you
And I guess you must be wondering the same thing too
So we go on, go on together, living a lie
Because neither one of us wants to be the first to say goodbye

Everytime I find the nerve
Everytime I find the nerve to say I'm leaving
Oh the memories, Oh the memories get in the way
Lord knows it's only me, yes he knows it's only me
That I'm delivering
When it comes to saying goodbye, that's a simple word I can't just say

There can be no way, there can be no way this can have a happy ending
So we go on hurting and pretending
And just convincing ourselves to give it - to give it one more try
Because neither one of us wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us
