There's no goin' back to that
I'm so numb, can't even react
Didn't say it's not OK
But we aren't dealin' the same way
I ain't tellin' you a secret
I ain't tellin' you goodbye
It's the last thing on my mind
Still you won't let things unwind
Spinnin' tighter around your head
Can't you hear a word I've said
I ain't tellin' you a secret
I ain't tellin' you goodbye
When you call it's just not fair
It's the last thing you should share
I can't deal, I'll let you know
Still I wish you'd let it go
I ain't tellin' you a secret
I ain't tellin' you goodbye
I'm tellin' you for one last time
It's not just you, the problem's mine to hide
I waited as long as I could
If you need it, sure I would, that's fine
Well, there's no goin' back to that
I seldom can't even react
Didn't say it's not OK
But we aren't dealin' the same way
I ain't tellin' you a secret
I ain't tellin' you goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
I'm tellin' you for one last time
It's not just you, the problem's mine to hide
I waited as long as I could
If you need it, sure I would, that's fine
I've taken away a lot of stuff
I'm tellin' you it's rough but now goodbye
