Neither One Of Us (Wants To Be The First To Say Goodbye)

By Johnny Mathis

It's sad to think we're not gonna make it
And it's gotten to the point
Where we just can't fake it
For some ungodly reason
We just won't let it die

I guess
Neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say good-bye

I keep wondering
What I'm gonna do without you
And I guess you must be
Wondering the same thing too
So we go on,
Go on together
Living a lie

Because neither one of us
(Neither one of us)
Wants to be the first to say good-bye

Every time I find the nerve to say I'm leaving
Those old memories get in my way
Lord knows it's only me
That I'm missing you
When it comes to saying good-bye
That's the simple word that I just cannot say

There can be no way,
There can be no way
This can have a happy ending
So we just go on
Hurting and pretending
And convincing ourselves to give it just one more try

Because neither one of us
(Neither one of us)
Wants to be the first to say it
Neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say it
Neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say
Farewell my love
Goodbye
