This Can'T Be Goodbye

It happens all the time someone hears the word goodbye
And a heart breaks tonight it’s mine
I can't keep from steppin’ on the pieces now
It’s all that i can do to catch my breath some how
I’m sinkin’ down down down down down
 
Tell me I’m just dreamin’ you’re heart ain’t leavin’
Can’t be really over It can’t be really be over
Say it's my imagination It’s all gonna be ok and
These tears are just a lie no this can’t be goodbye
Can’t be goodbye

I don’t no where to go never felt this much alone
How long ago did you move on
It’s gonna take a while to wrap my head around
You believing you’ll be better off without
My love - how could you throw it out
 
Tell me I’m just dreamin’ you’re heart ain’t leavin’
Can’t be really over It can’t be really be over
Say it's my imagination It’s all gonna be ok and
These tears are just a lie no this can’t be goodbye
 
Always said forever you and me
I know seasons change but why should we
I don't wanna be a memory
 
Tell me I’m just dreamin’ your heart ain’t leavin’
Can’t be really over It can’t be really be over
Say it's my imagination It’s all gonna be ok and
These tears are just a lie no this can’t be this can’t be goodbye
This can’t be goodbye

It happens all the time someone hears the word goodbye
And a heart breaks tonight it’s mine
