DON'T SAY GOODBYE

     DON'T SAY GOODBYE

WHOSE THE NEW GUY IN TOWN

I SEE HOW HE CAUGHT YOUR EYE

I CAN HEAR YOUR HEART START TO POUND

WHEN EVER HES AROUND

IF YOUR GONNA LEAVE DON'T SAY GOODBYE

I DON'T WANT TO KNOW CAUSE I'LL START TO CRY

IT SEEMS AS THOUGH EVERY TIME HES AROUND

YOU TWIRL YOUR HAIR AND YOU STOP TO STARE

WHEN SOMEONE NEW CAME TO TOWN YOU NEVER CARED

YOU SURE HAVE CHANGED THESE DAYS

I CAN HEAR THE SOFT CRACKLE IN YOUR VOICE

I KNOW CAUSE YOU WHISPERED TO ME THAT WAY

I USED TO LAUGH WHEN YOU CRACKLED IN EVERYTHING YOU SAY

THAT WAS SO LONG AGO

WHEN YOU LOVED ME BACK IN THE DAY

YOU TWIRLED YOUR HAIR LAUGHED AND HELD ME EVERYWHERE

IF YOUR GONNA GO DON'T SAY GOODBYE

LETS ACT LIKE I DIDN'T KNOW

TELLING OUR FRIENDS YOUR MISSING

I LEFT THE LIGHTS ON TILL THE LAST ONES DONE

MY ANSWERING MACHINE SAID HONEY COME HOME

I'M TO STUBBORN AND PROUD TO ADMIT I'M ALL ALONE

AND IF YOU CALL AND LEAVE A MESSAGE DON'T SAY GOODBYE

I PLAYED YOUR MESSAGE ABOUT A MILLION TIMES

BUT THIS TIME I KNEW IT WAS THE END

YOU SAID I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY

AND ENDING WITH GOODBYE OVER AND OVER AGAIN

I CALLED HER BACK AND SAID I WAS HAPPY FOR HER

AND I'D BE HAPPY TO LIE TO HER AGAIN JUST TO HEAR HER VOICE

 SO I LIED AGAIN AND SAID THAT SOMEONE CAME ALONG

I KNOW I SHOULDN'T LIE I KNOW IT'S WRONG

I JUST COULDN'T TELL HER I'M ALL ALONE

AND NO ONE WILL EVER COME ALONG

IT CAME OUT OF MY MOUTH AFTER I LIED

FOR THE FIRST TIME FOR THE LAST TIME I SAID DON'T SAY GOODBYE

DON'T SAY GOODBYE UNLESS YOU CAN TELL ME WHY
