I never could admit when I was wrong, man Even when I felt it in my bones I always thought it meant I was a strong man And I wondered why I was alone That's when she stepped out of the ether Right when I was ready for a dance She said I don't know what I am doing either But I know when to take a chance I never knew how to be scared Til I found something I knew I couldn't lose And then a revelation trembled Behind the tip of my own tongue And like the last few boys at the Alamo Like Cusack holding that stereo Or what Juliet hears from Romeo I'm never gonna say goodbye There's not a way to someone's heart that she can't see She lives and loves with everything she's got My dark days showed me how to ask Why me? She's shown me how to ask Why not? She keeps a hopeful eye upon the future She finds a way to share that hope with me And the few times that she's met some sort of failure She wins a little back by laughing at defeat I never knew what life could be So it stands to reason why I can't go back And now a revelation trembles From the bottom of my heart And like the stock exchange for the billionaires Like the convert singing his morning prayer Or the scientist to the polar bear I'm never gonna say goodbye Like those last few boys at the Alamo Like Cusack holding that stereo Or what Juliet hears from Romeo I'm never gonna say Don't make me say I'm never gonna say goodbye
