[Intro - Piano] You lied, and I lied We betrayed each other's trust. Forgive me, I forgive you But the world keeps turning and that's not enough Lost everything, and everyone. Don't wanna lose you, but that's just how it goes. [break] [Verse] Alas we come, to the end of our moment We burned out the night, our curtain is closing But here in the crisis of leaving I have to tear your hooks straight out of my heart [breakdown] It doesn't matter that you're perfect My world would swallow you alive I hold your hand, tell you to go But I can't... say goodbye. [pre-chorus - spoken word] You're wonderful but the pieces don't fit. [Chorus] Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh (A time to say goodbye) [interlude] [Bridge - Rapping, Drum Kit] I hold you close like I'm dyin' Say I'm fine but I'm lyin' My tears keep on windin' Down. Just can't stop cryin' Now. My mind keeps denyin' my heartbeat is climbin' dark clouds, no bright linin' Being brave, least I'm tryin' [breakdown] I made a pact and I signed it But heart won't do what my mind did So hold me once more, won't mind it Don't be alone, there's love, go find it But don't make me say it I can't be there to say goodbye [Chorus] Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh (A time to say goodbye) [post-chorus - spoken word] Why do we have to say goodbye? [Verse] There's a time for endings A time for goodbyes A time when I'm gonna miss your sweet eyes I thought my heart was mending just a break in disguise You have to leave, but I'm watching the skies. [breakdown] To have love worth finding Takes a roll of the dice All good things end, and they seldom ring twice [Chorus] Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh (A time to say goodbye) [post-chorus - spoken word] And now it's time to say goodbye. [Outro - Melancholic, Piano] So hold me once more, won't mind it If love's out there, I'll find it But don't make me say it I won't be there to say goodbye Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh (A time to say goodbye)
