[Verse 1]
So are we over now
Do we just turn the page
Or let the story end
Do we just walk away
Just like we never met
I know we said some things
And now you want to leave
But maybe that's no reason
To let a good love die

[Chorus]
Why goodbye?
Why must it be this way
So many words
So many other words that we could say
Why goodbye
After all this time
Can't we try
Why goodbye?

[Verse 2]
Why can't we work it out?
Why can't we talk it out?
A little more this time
Search through the rain and find
A ray of hope still shines
We can't just close the door
We still are fighting for
We've come too far together
To leave it all behind

[Chorus]
Why goodbye?
Why must it be this way
So many words
So many other words that we could say
Why goodbye
After all this time
Can't we try
Why goodbye?

[Bridge]
The road that I love is never easy
You'll get lost along the way
But in, time you will find, your way through
We can make it through the bad times
We can make it to the good times
Through the stormy weather
'Cause we belong together

[Chorus]
Why goodbye?
Why must it be this way
So many words
So many other words that we could say
Why goodbye
After all this time
Can't we try
Why goodbye?
Can we just try one more time
Why goodbye?
Why goodbye
Oh why, goodbye
