when to say goodbye

with enough time

rain can shape stone

when you mean them

words can break bones

loneliness is better alone

two's a crowd in this cold

empty home

i don't wanna leave

i don't wanna stay

i don't wanna keep sayin' the things we don't wanna say

truth or lie

real love knows when to say goodbye

i don't wanna give

i don't wanna take

i don't wanna keep holdin' the things we should throw away

wastin' time

real love knows when to say goodbye

too much light can make colors fade

too much darkness feels like a cave

you can't grow fresh flowers in shade

we can't go on livin' this way

i don't wanna leave

i don't wanna stay

i don't wanna keep sayin' the things we don't wanna say

truth or lie

real love knows when to say goodbye

i don't wanna give

i don't wanna take

i don't wanna keep holdin' the things we should throw away

wastin' time

real love knows when to say goodbye

goodbye sounds like sweet raindrops

on our tongues

but won't come off

i don't wanna leave

i don't wanna stay

i don't wanna keep sayin' the things we don't wanna say

truth or lie

real love knows when to say goodbye

i don't wanna give

i don't wanna take

i don't wanna keep holdin' the things we should throw away

wastin' time

real love knows when to say goodbye

when to say

and it knows when to say goodbye

with enough time

rain can shape stone

when you mean them

words can break bones
