Cant Say Goodbye by Emily James Lyrics

[Verse 1]
That couch right there where we first kissed
Can't sit there anymore without thinking 'bout your lips
And my hands running through your hair
It haunts me without warning, I can still feel you there

[Pre-Chorus]
Where the long nights fade into yesterdays
Breaking us all the way down
Ooh, well I'll just tell you now

[Chorus]
If I don't say "hello" just know
It's only 'cause I can't say "goodbye"
If my voice begins to shake
Please don't make me look in your eyes
And if I make you laugh, don't ask me why I look away
I'll say it's 'cause I can't stand to see your smile fade
Ooh and I don't want to believe
Our future's only filled with memories
[Verse 2]
I told you this is what I want
But I keep going back and thinking maybe I was wrong
'Cause I miss the way that our hands fit
So perfectly together, just like you said they did

[Pre-Chorus]
When you held me close, oh it hurts 'cause I know
If I asked you to fall you would
Ooh but I don't know that I could

[Chorus]
If I don't say "hello" just know
It's only 'cause I can't say "goodbye"
If my voice begins to shake
Please don't make me look in your eyes
And if I make you laugh, don't ask me why I look away
I'll say it's 'cause I can't stand to see your smile fade
Ooh and I don't want to believe
Our future's only filled with memories
Memories, ooh
Memories, ooh

[Outro]
So I'll bite my tongue, let my feelings go numb
And you can forget my face
Ooh, whatever it takes
As long as your smile doesn't fade, mmm
