[Intro]
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
Sometimes
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
What may be the best thing for you to do
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
Sometimes that's the hardest thing for you to do
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
And that, that's real, 'cause
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
I know I love you, I know how I feel about you
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
But I also know that don't make everything alright
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
And for that reason
(La-la-la)
I gotta say goodbye

[Verse 1]
Tell me have you ever been in
A situation where the best thing you could do
Was the hardest thing you've ever done?
(The hardest thing you've ever done)
But you try to do what's right
And I know deep down inside
That I really wanna be there by your side
But I can't stand to see you cry
Not when it's because of me
Yeah, yeah yeah
[Chorus]
When it's over (Over, baby)
I'll never love another (I'll never love another)
I'm always thinking of her (Woah, woah)
I'm doing this because of her (Oh, oh, woah)
I don't wanna say goodbye
I don't wanna let her see me cry ('Cause I don't)
Looking out the window and wondering why (Wondering why, yeah)
Did we have to say all those things (Did we have to say those things, babe?)
That we said last night (That we said last night)
Baby, I don't wanna say goodbye (I don't wanna say, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
So I'm just standing here wondering why
Just don't like to see when you cry (Yeah)
So I'ma say goodbye

[Verse 2]
Do you think 'cause I packed your stuff
That inside I'm really, really crackin' up?
'Cause you're wrong, I just hide it good, uh
'Cause I know that's what you need, girl
And there's more to life than loving yourself
You gotta learn to love somebody else, yeah
And that's why I do the things that I do (Oh, oh, woah)

[Chorus]
When it's over
I'll never love another (I'll never love another, no)
I'm always thinking of her (I'm thinkin' of you, girl)
I'm doing this because of her (Don't wanna say goodbye)
I don't wanna say goodbye
I don't wanna let her see me cry (Oh, oh, oh, yeah)
Looking out the window and wondering why (I don't wanna love nobody but you, baby)
Did we have to say all those things
That we said last night (Say goodbye, baby)
Baby, I don't wanna say goodbye (I don't wanna see you cry)
So I'm just standing here wondering why (And, baby, no, no, no, no, no, no)
Just don't like to see when you cry (Oh, no)
So I'ma say goodbye (No, no, no)
[Outro]
There's no one in this world that can ever take your place (There's no one in this world)
All the love that we shared, it can never be erased (I don't wanna let you down, babe)
And I know that, that it hurts so bad (I don't wanna say goodbye)
And I'm sorry, you're the best I had (Don't wanna say goodbye, bye-bye, bye-bye)
There's no one in this world that can ever take your place (Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye)
All the love that we shared, it can never be erased (Bye-bye, baby)
And I know that, that it hurts so bad (Bye-bye, baby)
And I'm sorry, you're the best I had (I don't wanna say goodbye, no)
There's no one in this world that can ever take your place (And I know that I gotta let you go, girl)
All the love that we shared, it can never be erased (And, baby, I'd rather not)
And I know that, that it hurts so bad (But I know it's the best for you)
And I'm sorry, you're the best I had (Oh-woah)
There's no one in this world that can ever take your place (Oh-oh-oh)
All the love that we shared, it can never be erased (And bye, baby)
And I know that, that it hurts so bad (I said bye, baby)
And I'm sorry, you're the best I had (Woah-woah, oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh, bye-bye, baby)
Oh-oh-oh-oh (Woah, bye, bye, bye)
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
