How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye

Here we are, so close to the end now

Still holding on, we try and pretend now

Clinging to love we both know is dying, it’s dying

We’ve tried and tried to find us a way out

But darling, our dreams have now all been played out

Still we go on, hopelessly trying

But how many times can we say goodbye

And how many times can we see love die

And how many times can we give it one more try

Before we really say goodbye, mmm goodbye, goodbye

We’re so in love, but wrong for each other

Each hurt that heals brings on another

Both of us used and both of us using

Hey, hey, darling it’s time that we stopped pretending

There’s just no way to re-write our ending

We’re caught in this game and we know we’re both losing

Hey, but how many times can we say goodbye

How many times can we live this lie

And how many times can we give it one more try

Before we really say goodbye

How many times can we break up and make up

Both of our hearts refusing to wake up

Just can’t go on and on living a lie

Though I’ll always love you

How many times can we say goodbye

And how many times can we live this lie

How many times can we give it one more try

How many times before we really say goodbye

Bye-bye, goodbye, bye-bye, goodbye
