Don’t Leave These Goodbyes

Simple persuasion
On this sad occasion
Would never do
And hard pursuit
Would never change your mind

Yeah, sometimes I talk slowly
Well, I want you to know me
And don't get me wrong
Time is short or long
It's you who makes it pass
But there's just one thing that I ask
After all the love we've made
Don't leave these goodbyes
Lyin' in your way

You say I'm to blame
But the ending's the same
And some hearts can break
When love's at stake
We tеnd to take the best
And thеn we sweep away the rest
But after all the love we've made
Don't leave these goodbyes
Lyin' in your way

Yeah
We laugh
We laugh
We savor these minutes alone

We laugh (we laugh)
Laugh (laugh)
And I almost forget that you're going

But we'll wade through this pool
Of these sweet friends and fools
And we'll come up safe
It's in your face, the power that you need
Just let it take you where it leads
But after all the love we've made
Don't leave these goodbyes
Don't leave these goodbyes
Lyin' in your way

And after all the love we've made
Don't leave these goodbyes
(Goodbyes)
Don't leave these goodbyes
Lyin' in your way
