Why Do We Have to Say Goodbye

《Why Do We Have to Say Goodbye》 【Verse 1｜Female】 The night you packed your things to leave I stood beside the door silently I saw the tears you tried to hide So why did you still walk outside? You said we needed time apart To heal the wounds inside our hearts But if you still think about me Why can't we try just one more time? 【Verse 1｜Male】 I never forgot the love we knew And I still dreamed of growing old with you But somehow hugs became our fights And every word stopped feeling right I thought about trying one more time But every touch became another scar I'm scared if we keep holding on We'll forget how beautiful we were 【Pre-Chorus｜Female】 If you don't love me, I can let you go 【Male】 It's because I love you that I'm letting go 【Female】 Then why do two hearts still in love 【Male】 Have to say goodbye? 【Together】 Maybe some answers Only come when love is gone 【Chorus｜Together】 Why do we have to say goodbye When love is still alive inside? Neither of us wants to leave But staying only makes us bleed Why do we have to say goodbye Maybe leaving is our final act of love Not every love can make it through forever Some people have to live Forever in our hearts 【Verse 2｜Female】 I still reach for my phone at night Almost sending you one last goodnight I pass the place where we used to eat Then remember you're no longer next to me 【Verse 2｜Male】 I'm not doing better without you Your pictures are still on my phone So many times I've wanted to ask If you're okay now that I'm gone 【Pre-Chorus｜Female】 Leaving doesn't mean I don't miss you 【Male】 Missing you doesn't mean we should meet 【Female】 We didn't lose to someone else 【Male】 We lost to a future we couldn't reach 【Together】 Love is still inside us While we're walking separate roads 【Chorus｜Together】 Why do we have to say goodbye When love is still alive inside? Neither of us wants to leave But staying only makes us bleed Why do we have to say goodbye Maybe leaving is our final act of love Not every love can make it through forever Some people have to live Forever in our hearts 【Bridge｜Call & Response】 *Female:* If someday we both become better *Male:* If someday we've learned how to love *Female:* Could we ever start again? *Male:* I don't know, I can't promise that *Female:* Will you still remember me? *Male:* I don't think I'll ever forget *Female:* Then don't say our love meant nothing *Male:* At least what we had was real 【Final Chorus｜Together】 We loved each other, still we said goodbye This time there's no one left to blame Thank you for walking beside me And teaching me that love can let go too We loved each other, still we said goodbye Neither of us betrayed the love we made If someday we meet again among the crowd Please look at me and say— “I'm doing fine” 【Female】 I'll remember the way you loved me 【Male】 I'll remember the warmth you gave me 【Together】 Sometimes goodbye doesn't mean love died Sometimes we leave Before we lose who we are 【Outro】 The love was real. The goodbye was real too. This time, We'll keep the love— And give each other back to tomorrow.
