First To Say Goodbye Lyrics

Gladys Knight First To Say Goodbye

It’s sad to think we’re not gonna make it
And it’s gotten to the point where we just can’t fake it
For some ungodly reason we just won’t let it die
I guess neither one of us wants to be the first to say goodbye

I keep wondering what I’m gonna do without you
And I guess you must be wondering that same thing too
So we go on, go on together living a lie
Because neither one of us wants to be the first to say goodbye

Oh every time I find the nerve, every time I find the nerve to say I’m leaving
Oh memories, those old memories get in my way, ooh, ooh
Oh Lord knows it’s only me, oh he knows it’s only me that I’m deceiving
Ooh, when it comes to saying goodbye, that’s a simple word that I just cannot say

There can be no way, there can be no way this can have a happy ending, no, no
So we just go on hurting and pretending
And convincing ourselves to give it just one more try
Because neither one of us wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us wants to be the first to say
Farewell my love, goodbye
