Say Goodbye

Song byChris Brown

in AlbumChris Brown

Look we gotta talk

Dang I know

I know it's just

It's just...

Some things I gotta get of my chest alright....

Yeahhhh...

Whoa, whoa, whoa, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh, whoa...

Listen..

Baby come here and sit down, let's talk

I got a lot to say so I guess I'll start by

Saying that I love you,

But you know, this thing ain't been

No walk in the park for us

I swear it'll only take a minute

You'll understand when I finish, yeah

And I don't wanna see you cry

But I don't wanna be the one to tell you a lie so

[Hook]

How do you let it go? When you,

You just don't know? What's on,

The other side of the door

When you're walking out, talk about it

Everything I tried to remember to say

Just went out my head

So I'ma do the best I can to get you to understand

[Chorus]

There's never a right time to say goodbye

But I gotta make the first move

'Cause if I don't you gonna start hating me

Cause I really don't feel the way I once felt about you

Girl it's not you, it's me

I gotta gotta figure out what I need (oh)

There's never a right time to say goodbye

But we know that we gotta go

Our separate ways

And I know it's hard but I gotta do it,

And it's killing me

Cause there's never a right time

Right time to say goodbye

Girl I know your heart is breaking

And a thousand times I

Found myself asking, "Why? Why?"

Why am I taking so long to say this?

But trust me, girl I never

Meant to crush your world

And I never

Thought I would see the day we grew apart

And I wanna know

[Hook]

How do you let it go? When you,

You just don't know? What's on,

The other side of the door

When you're walking out, talk about it

Girl I hope you understand

What I'm tryna say.

We just can't go on

Pretending that we get along

Girl how you not gonna see it?

[Chorus]

There's never a right time to say goodbye

But I gotta make the first move

'Cause if I don't you gonna start hating me

Cause I really don't feel the way I once felt about you

Girl it's not you it's me.

I gotta gotta figure out what I need (oh)

There's never a right time to say goodbye

But we know that we gotta go

Our separate ways

And I know it's hard but I gotta do it,

And it's killing me

Cause there's never a right time

Right time to say goodbye

Listen to your heart

Girl you know,

We should be apart, baby I

I just can't do it

I, I just can't do it

Listen to your heart

Girl you know,

We should be apart, baby I

I just can't do it

And sometimes it makes me wanna cry

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh [4x]

Do you hear me crying?

Oh, oh, oh [4x]

[Chorus]

There's never a right time to say goodbye

But I gotta make the first move

'Cause if I don't you gonna start hating me

Cause I really don't feel the way I once felt about you

Girl it's not you it's me.

I gotta gotta figure out what I need (oh)

There's never a right time to say goodbye

But we know that we gotta go

Our separate ways

And I know it's hard but I gotta do it,

And it's killing me

Cause there's never a right time

Right time to say goodbye

[Chorus]

There's never a right time to say goodbye

But I gotta make the first move

'Cause if I don't you gonna start hating me

Cause I really don't feel the way I once felt about you

Girl it's not you it's me.

I gotta gotta figure out what I need (oh)

There's never a right time to say goodbye

But we know that we gotta go

Our separate ways

And I know it's hard but I gotta do it,

And it's killing me

Cause there's never a right time

Right time to say goodbye
