  • There's no going back to that
    I'm so numb, can't even react
    Didn't say it's not okay
    But we aren't dealing the same way
    I ain't tellin' you a secret
    I ain't tellin' you goodbye

    It's the last thing on my mind
    Still you won't let things unwind
    Spinning tight around your head
    Can't you hear a word I've said?
    I ain't tellin' you a secret
    I ain't tellin' you goodbye

    When you call it's just not fair
    It's the last thing you should share
    I can't deal, I'll let you know
    Still I wish you'd let it go
    I ain't tellin' you a secret
    I ain't tellin' you goodbye

    I'm tellin' you for one last time
    It's not just you, the problem's mine to hide
    I waited as long as I could
    If you need it, sure I would, that's fine

    Well, there's no goin' back to that
    I'm so numb can't even react
    Didn't say it's not okay
    But we aren't dealin' the same way
    I ain't tellin' you a secret
    I ain't tellin' you goodbye
    Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

    I'm tellin' you for one last time
    It's not just you, the problem's mine to hide
    I waited as long as I could
    If you need it, sure I would, that's fine
    I'm takin' away a lot of stuff
    I'm telling you it's rough but not goodbye Writer/s: JOSEPH MASCIS
