Neither One Of Us (Wants To Be The First To Say Goodbye)
Jim Weatherly
Ray Conniff
Lyrics:
It´s sad I think we´re not gonna make it.
And ít's gotten to the point where we just can fake it.
Or for some ungodly reason, just won't let it die.
I guess neither one of us wants to be the first to say good-bye.
I keep wondering what I'll do without you.
And I guess you must be wondering that same thing too.
So we go on together living a lie.
Because neither one of us wants to be the first to say good-bye.
Ev'ry time I find the nerve to say I´m leaving -- you´re leaving!
Old memories -- old memories - get in the way -- get in the way!
Lord knows it's only me that I'm deceiving -- you´re deceiving!
When it comes to say good-bye,
That's a word I just can't say.
There can be no way this can have a happy ending.
So we just go on hurting and pretending.
And convincing ourselves to give it just one more try, yeah.
Because neither one of us wants to be the first to say good-bye!
Oh, neither one of us wants to be the first to say good-bye!
