If you ever heard the words I just don't care

Baby please forgive the foolish heart that told you that

When the road got rough I started doubting myself

Still I can't believe that life's worth living

With anybody else



So why do we say goodbye

When we know we'll only cry

We're gonna be lonely

(Gonna be lonely)

And why do we fool ourselves

Saying there'll be someone else

For me there's you only

(Gonna be lonely)



All we need to make it right is precious time

But it's funny such a simple thing's so hard to find

Don't know when or where we started

Living separate lives

But I know it's still worth fighting for

I see it in your eyes



So why do we say goodbye

When we know we'll only cry

We're gonna be lonely

(Gonna be lonely)

And why do we fool ourselves

Saying there'll be someone else

For me there's you only

(Gonna be lonely)



Now I realise that I've been living so selfishly

Someone along the way

I forgot you had your own hopes and dreams

I never meant to make you weak

But I was too blind to see that I've been hurting you

How I made you blue

Now guilt is killing me



So why do we say goodbye

When we know we'll only cry

We're gonna be lonely

(Gonna be lonely)

And why do we fool ourselves

Saying there'll be someone else

For me there's you only

(Gonna be lonely) (rpt to fade)
