[Intro]

Ah, look, we gotta talk

Dang, I know, I know but it’s, it’s just, it’s just

Some things I gotta get off my chest, aight

Yeah, woah, woah-woah

Listen

 

[Verse 1]

Baby, come here and sit down, let’s talk

I got a lot to say so I guess I’ll start by

Saying that I love you

But you know, this thing ain’t been no walk in the park for us

I swear it’ll only take a minute

You’ll understand when I finish, yeah

And I don’t wanna see you cry

But I don’t wanna be the one to tell you a lie so

 

[Pre-Chorus]

How do you let it go when you, you just don’t know

What’s on the other side of the door when you’re walking out? Talk about it

And everything I tried to remember to say just went out my head

So I’ma do the best I can to get you to understand ’cause I know

 

[Chorus]

There’s never a right time to say goodbye (Yeah)

But I gotta make the first move

‘Cause if I don’t you gonna start hating me

‘Cause I really don’t feel the way I once felt about you

Girl, it’s not you, it’s me, I

Kinda gotta figure out what I need, oh

There’s never a right time to say goodbye

But we know that we gotta go our separate ways

And I know it’s hard but I gotta do it and it’s killing me

‘Cause there’s never a right time, right time to say goodbye

 

 

[Verse 2]

Girl, I know your heart is breaking

And a thousand times I found myself asking, “Why? Why?”

Why am I taking so long to say this?

But trust me, girl, I never

Meant to crush your world and I never

Thought I would see the day we grew apart

And I wanna know

 

[Pre-Chorus]

How do you let it go when you, you just don’t know

What’s on the other side of the door when you’re walking out? Talk about it

Girl, I hope you understand what I’m tryna say, we just can’t go on

Pretending that we get along, girl, how you not gon’ see it? (Oh, oh, yeah)

 

[Chorus]

There’s never a right time to say goodbye

But I gotta make the first move

‘Cause if I don’t you gonna start hating me

‘Cause I really don’t feel the way I once felt about you

Girl, it’s not you, it’s me, I

Kinda gotta figure out what I need, oh

There’s never a right time to say goodbye

But we know that we gotta go our separate ways

And I know it’s hard but I gotta do it and it’s killing me

‘Cause there’s never a right time, right time to say goodbye

 

 

[Bridge]

Listen to your heart, girl, you know

We should be apart, baby, I

I just can’t do it, I, I just can’t do it

Listen to your heart, girl, you know

We should be apart, baby, I

I just can’t do it and sometimes it makes me wanna cry

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Do you hear me crying?

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Oh, oh)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

There’s never a right

 

[Chorus]

There’s never a right time to say goodbye (Oh yeah)

But I gotta make the first move

‘Cause if I don’t you gonna start hating me (You gonna start hating me, baby)

‘Cause I really don’t feel the way I once felt about you (No more)

Girl, it’s not you, it’s me, I (It’s me, yeah)

Kinda gotta figure out what I need, oh (About you and me)

There’s never a right time to say goodbye (Oh, no it ain’t)

But we know that we gotta go our separate ways (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

And I know it’s hard but I gotta do it and it’s killing me

‘Cause there’s never a right time, right time to say goodbye (Right time)

There’s never a right time to say goodbye

But I gotta make the first move

‘Cause if I don’t you gonna start hating me

‘Cause I really don’t feel the way I once felt about you

Girl, it’s not you, it’s me, I

Kinda gotta figure out what I need, oh

There’s never a right time to say goodbye

But we know that we gotta go our separate ways

And I know it’s hard but I gotta do it and it’s killing me

‘Cause there’s never a right time, right time to say…
