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
