[Verse 1]
AmBaby come here and sit down, let's talk
I Fgot a lot to say so I guess I'll start by
CSaying that I love you,
But you know, this Gthing ain't been
No walk in the park for Amus
(Am)
I swear it'll only take a minute
FYou'll understand when I finish, yeah
CAnd I don't wanna see you cry
But GI don't wanna be the one
(G)
to tell you a lie so
[Hook]
AmHow do you let it go? When you,
FYou just don't know? What's on,
CThe other side of the door
When you're Gwalking out, talk about it
AmEverything I tried to remember to Fsay
(F)
Just went out my head
CSo I'ma do the best I can
to Gget you to understand
(Am)
'cause I know
[Chorus]
AmThere's never a right time to Fsay goodbye
But I gotta make the Cfirst move
'Cause if I don't you gonna start Ghating me
Cause I really don't Amfeel the way
(Am)
I once felt about you
FGirl it's not you, it's me
I Ckinda gotta figure out what I neeGd (oh)
There's Amnever a right time to Fsay goodbye
But we Cknow that we gotta go
Our separate Gways
AmAnd I know it's hard but I gotta Fdo it,
(F)
And it's killing me
Cause there's Cnever a right time
G (Am)
Right time to say goodbye
[Verse 2]
AmGirl I know your heart is breaking
FAnd a thousand times I
CFound myself asking, "Why? Why?"
GWhy am I taking so long to say this?
AmBut trust me, girl I never
FMeant to crush your world
(F)
And I never
CThought I would see the day we grew aGpart
(G) (Am)
And I wanna know
[Bridge]
AmListen to your heart
(Am)
Girl you know,

CI just can't do it
IG, I just can't do it
AmListen to your heart
(Am)
Girl you know,
FWe should be apart, baby I
CI just can't do it
And Gsometimes it makes me wanna Amcry
Oh, Foh, oh, Coh, oh, oh, oh
