We know we've had this feeling for sometime our feeling we no longer need to hide
You love him I love her we've wasted time just being kind
How come it took so long to say goodbye
We won't miss each other we both know it
And the past will soon be gone for you and I
We're wasting love and moments so go to him I'll run to her
How come it took so long to say goodbye
How come it took so long to say goodbye
All these years with promises and oh so many lies
And when we loved each other we were never satisfied
How come it took so long to say goodbye
Oh how come it took so long to say goodbye
