[Verse 1]
You and I were friends from outer space
Afraid to let go
The only two who understood this place
And as far as we know
We were way before our time
As bold as we were blind
Just another perfect mistake
Another bridge to take
On the way of letting go
[Chorus]
This ain't goodbye
This is just where love goes
When words aren't warm enough to keep away the cold
Oh no, this ain't goodbye
It's not where our story ends
But I know you can't be mine
Not the way you've always been
As long as we've got time
Then this ain't goodbye
Oh no, this ain't goodbye
[Verse 2]
We were stars up in the sunlit sky
No one else could see
Neither of us thought to ever ask why
It wasn't meant to be
Maybe we were way too high
To ever understand
Maybe we were victims of all
All the foolish plans we began to devise
[Chorus]
But this ain't goodbye
This is just the way love goes
When words aren't warm enough to keep away the cold
Oh no, this ain't goodbye
It's not where our story ends
But I know you can't be mine
Not the way you've always been
As long as we've got time
This ain't goodbye
Oh no, this ain't good bye, oh oh, oh no this ain't goodbye
Nah nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah
This ain't goodbye
You and I were friends from outer space
Afraid to let go
The only two who understood this place
And as far as we know
[Verse 3]
This ain't goodbye
Oh no, this ain't goodbye
This ain't goodbye, oh no, this ain't goodbye
This ain't goodbye
It's just the way love goes
But where's that woman now, to keep away the cold?
Oh no, this ain't goodbye
This is not where the story ends
But I know you can't be mine
Not the way you've always been
Oh no, this ain't
Nah nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah
This ain't goodbye
You and I were friends from outer space
Afraid to let go
The only two who understood this place
And as far as we know
We were way before our time
As bold as we were blind
Just another perfect mistake
Another bridge to take
On the way of letting go
[Chorus]
This ain't goodbye
This is just where love goes
When words aren't warm enough to keep away the cold
Oh no, this ain't goodbye
It's not where our story ends
But I know you can't be mine
Not the way you've always been
As long as we've got time
Then this ain't goodbye
Oh no, this ain't goodbye
[Verse 2]
We were stars up in the sunlit sky
No one else could see
Neither of us thought to ever ask why
It wasn't meant to be
Maybe we were way too high
To ever understand
Maybe we were victims of all
All the foolish plans we began to devise
[Chorus]
But this ain't goodbye
This is just the way love goes
When words aren't warm enough to keep away the cold
Oh no, this ain't goodbye
It's not where our story ends
But I know you can't be mine
Not the way you've always been
As long as we've got time
This ain't goodbye
Oh no, this ain't good bye, oh oh, oh no this ain't goodbye
Nah nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah
This ain't goodbye
You and I were friends from outer space

Oh no, this ain't goodbye
This ain't goodbye, oh no, this ain't goodbye

Oh no, this ain't
Nah nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah
This ain't goodbye
