The moment came and went, my darlin' We're still here while the thunder's storming Didn't work, Lord knows we tried I'm looking in your eyes with memories flashing How did we fly so high and end up crashing? Hanging on where love and truth collide Why does it take so long to say goodbye? Why does it seem so wrong not to hold you tight When the tears start falling down? Don't wanna break your heart Don't wanna wreck your world Don't wanna make you cry Why does it take so long to say goodbye? We keep coming back instead of running Hide behind the mask of what we're wanting I wish you hated me somehow I start to leave, I start to miss you Then the feeling leads to wanna kiss you I can't live with or without Why does it take so long to say goodbye? Why does it seem so wrong not to hold you tight When the tears start falling down? Don't wanna break your heart Don't wanna wreck your world Don't wanna make you cry Why does it take so long to say goodbye? ♪ I think that I know why I think that you know why I think we both know why Why does it take so long to say goodbye? Why does it seem so wrong not to hold you tight? Oh, why does it take so long to say Why does it take so long to say Why does it take so long to say Goodbye (goodbye) Goodbye (goodbye) Goodbye (goodbye)
