Don't Leave These Goodbyes lyrics

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 tend to take the best

And then 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
