We could beat around the bush again Play make believe or just pretend That every thing is still ok When all we really have to do is say what it is We both feel inside And reveal the secrets we try to hide We could live like this the rest of our lives Or we could say Or we could say goodbye We could say i do but really don't Say i will even though I know we won't Stay in love, this way for good No matter what we do we could Tell the world our wedding plans Even though we know it really ends We could say without you I'd die Or we could say Or we could say I don't wanna go so don't make this harder than it should I don't wanna know your reason So just tell me that we could Say all the words we long to hear I love you, and I love you too my dear We could take romance to heights unknown But when we're done still be all alone We could find just the right word s to say That I still love you but it s not the same We could take the time to clear our minds Or we could say Or we could say goodbye
