Never Gonna Say Goodbye

  • I never could admit when I was wrong, man
    Even when I felt it in my bones
    I always thought it meant I was a strong man
    And I wondered why I was alone

    That's when she stepped out of the ether
    Right when I was ready for a dance
    She said "I don't know what I am doing, either
    But I know when to take a chance"

    I never knew how to be scared
    'Til I found something I knew I couldn't lose
    And then a revelation trembled
    From the tip of my own tongue

    And like the last few boys at the Alamo
    Like Cusack holding that stereo
    Or what Juliet hears from Romeo
    I'm never gonna say goodbye

    There's not a way to someone's heart that she can't see
    She lives and loves with everything she's got
    My dark days showed me how to ask, "why me?"
    She showed me how to ask, "why not?"

    She keeps a hopeful eye upon the future
    She finds a way to share that hope with me
    And the few times that she's met some sort of failure
    She wins a little back by laughing at defeat

    I never knew what life could be
    So it stands to reason why I can't go back
    And now a revelation trembles
    From the bottom of my heart

    And like the stock exchange for the billionaires
    Like the convert singing his morning prayers
    Or the scientist to the polar bear
    I'm never gonna say goodbye

    Like those last few boys at the Alamo
    Like Cusack holding that stereo
    Or what Juliet hears from Romeo
    I'm never gonna say
    Don't make me say
    I'm never gonna say goodbye Writer/s: Taylor Zachary Goldsmith
