Ah, look, we gotta talk
Dang, I know, I know but it's, it's just, it's just
Some things I gotta get off my chest, aight
Yeah, woah, woah-woah
Listen
Baby, come here and sit down, let's talk
I got a lot to say so I guess I'll start by
Saying that I love you
But you know, this thing ain't been
No walk in the park for us
I swear it'll only take a minute
You'll understand when I finish, yeah
And I don't wanna see you cry
But I don't wanna be the one to tell you a lie so
How do you let it go?
When you, you just don't know?
What's on the other side of the door
When you're walking out?
Talk about it
And everything I tried to remember to say
Just went out my head
So I'ma do the best I can to get you to understand
'Cause, I know
There's never a right time to say goodbye (yeah)
But I gotta make the first move
'Cause if I don't, you gonna start hating me
'Cause I really don't feel the way I once felt about you
Girl, it's not you, it's me
I kinda gotta figure out what I need, oh
There's never a right time to say goodbye
But we know that we gotta go our separate ways
And I know it's hard, but I gotta do it
And it's killing me
'Cause there's never a right time
Right time to say goodbye
Girl, I know your heart is breaking
And a thousand times I found myself asking, why? Why?
Why am I taking so long to say this?
But trust me, girl, I never
Meant to crush your world and I never
Thought I would see the day we grew apart
And I wanna know
How do you let it go?
When you, you just don't know?
What's on the other side of the door
When you're walking out?
Talk about it
Girl, I hope you understand
What I'm tryna say
We just can't go on
Pretending that we get along
Girl, how you not gonna see it? (Oh, oh, yeah)
There's never a right time to say goodbye
But I gotta make the first move
'Cause if I don't, you gonna start hating me
'Cause I really don't feel the way I once felt about you
Girl, it's not you, it's me
I kinda gotta figure out what I need, oh
There's never a right time to say goodbye
But we know that we gotta go our separate ways
And I know it's hard, but I gotta do it
And it's killing me
'Cause there's never a right time
Right time to say goodbye
Listen to your heart
Girl, you know
We should be apart, baby, I
I just can't do it
I, I just can't do it
Listen to your heart
Girl, you know
We should be apart, baby, I
I just can't do it
And sometimes it makes me wanna cry
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Do you hear me crying?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (oh, oh)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
There's never a right
There's never a right time to say goodbye (oh, yeah)
But I gotta make the first move
'Cause if I don't, you gonna start hating me (you gonna start hating me, baby)
'Cause I really don't feel the way I once felt about you (no more)
Girl, it's not you, it's me (it's me, yeah)
I kinda gotta figure out what I need, oh (about you and me)
There's never a right time to say goodbye (oh, no, it ain't)
But we know that we gotta go our separate ways (yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I know it's hard, but I gotta do it
And it's killing me
'Cause there's never a right time
Right time to say goodbye (right time)
