Why Would I Say Goodbye

Brooks And Dunn · Borderline [Arista Nashville] [1996]

I guess I lost my head last night

Kept on 'till I made you cry

Walked out with my stubborn pride

Wasn't nothing you could do to stop me

I hit the road but I didn't get far

Just drove around all night in my car

Now I'm not sure where to start

To tell you that I'm sorry



I just want to hold you

I don't want to hurt you

I don't want to leave

I just want to be with you

And after living alone

Lost for so long

Finally found the love of my life

Why would I say goodbye?



I don't know what it is about the edge of a cliff

Makes me want to get so close to it

I guess this time I finally slipped

What a foolish way to end it

Maybe that's why I'm back here now

Got both feet back on the ground

Hopin' you won't turn me down

When I ask you for forgiveness



I just want to hold you

I don't want to hurt you

I don't want to leave

I just want to be with you

And after living alone

Lost for so long

Finally found the love of my life

Why would I say goodbye?



I just want to hold you

I don't want to hurt you

I don't want to leave

I just want to be with you
