We tried for something better, now we just get by Knowing we may never get it right If we don't spend our days Steppin' round each other Then we find new ways to fight About the weather Every night I lay in bed Thinking 'bout someone else instead 'Cause who you are isn't who you said Now we're stuck here Standin' in the middle of a mess we've made It's all to little too late You call your mother, I write a song We've come to agree that we can't get along Why can't I say goodbye Why can't I say goodbye You changed and all you wanted was for me to change Well, why couldn't you just stay the same Now all I see are piles of dirty dishes And a laundry list of all our wasted wishes Every morning when I wake I see your angel face And I know you're dreaming of a better place I guess I'm waiting on you To come and tell me we're through But as time goes by, it gets a little easier To hide from the truth Now you wrote a poem, I called your mother We still disagree but you know we'll stay together Now we're stuck here Standin' in the middle of a mess we've made It's all to little too late It's the end of the call The end of the song We still disagree and we can't get along Why can't I say goodbye Why can't I say goodbye
