[Verse 1]
We’ve had this same conversation
A hundred different ways
Swore this time would be different
Swore we’d finally make a change
We gave a little, took a little
Bent until we couldn’t bend no more
And now we’re standing in the silence
Like we don’t know what we’re waiting for
[Pre-Chorus]
Say something that’ll stop me
I swear I’ll do the same
Give me one good reason
That ain’t just love or yesterday
[Chorus]
We don’t wanna say goodbye
We don’t wanna call it over
After all these years together
How do you just close that door?
There’s still love between us
God knows there’s still more
But not wanting to leave
Ain’t the same as having something to stay for
So we’re standing here together
Neither one reaching for the door
We don’t wanna say goodbye
There’s just nothing left to stay for
[Verse 2]
I still know how you take your coffee
You still know when something’s wrong
We still laugh at all the same things
Still know every word to our old songs
There’s a thousand little pieces
Of a life we can’t ignore
But memories can fill a hallway
They can’t give you something to stay for
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me we can fix this
Like we’ve said a thousand times
Tell me there’s still somewhere
We haven’t crossed that same old line
[Chorus]
We don’t wanna say goodbye
We don’t wanna call it over
After all these years together
How do you just close that door?
There’s still love between us
God knows there’s still more
But not wanting to leave
Ain’t the same as having something to stay for
So we’re standing here together
Neither one reaching for the door
We don’t wanna say goodbye
There’s just nothing left to stay for
[Bridge]
Maybe that’s the cruelest part
There ain’t a heart here made of stone
Nobody cheated, nobody lied
Nobody wanted to let go
We just kept trying to save something
That kept slipping through our hands
And maybe love can still be real
Even when it can’t make two people last
[Final Chorus]
We don’t wanna say goodbye
God, we don’t wanna call it over
I still wanna wake beside you
You still wanna pull me closer
There’s still love between us
Maybe there always will be more
But love can keep you holding on
Long after there’s nothing to hold on for
So if you’re waiting for me to leave
I’m waiting on you too
Neither one of us can say the words
Neither one wants them to be true
We don’t wanna say goodbye
We never thought we’d reach this door
But there’s nothing left to promise
Nothing left to fight for
And there’s nothing left
To stay for
[Outro]
So stay here just a minute
Before we become before
I don’t wanna say goodbye
There’s just nothing left
To stay for
