[Opening Hook]
Before you say goodbye…
Is there something left to try?
Something we forgot to say…
Before you say goodbye.

[Verse 1]
You sit across the table,
I can barely see your eyes.
You say you’ve tried to tell me,
More times than I know.

I kept saying, “Give me a minute,”
You kept waiting up for me.
You said, “I got tired of asking
For somewhere in your plans.”

[Pre-Chorus]
I nearly said, “That isn’t fair,”
Like I’ve said a hundred times.
Then I heard how tired you sounded,
And let you finish this time.

[Chorus]
Before you say goodbye,
Tell me what I didn’t hear.
When you needed me to listen,
When you needed me right here.

I still want the life we talked about,
I still want it all with you.
But I know another promise
Isn’t any kind of proof.

If there’s something left between us,
Let me meet you where you are.
Before you say goodbye…
Could we find somewhere to start?

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh…
Somewhere to start.
Oh-oh…
Before you say goodbye.

[Verse 2]
You used to call at lunchtime,
Just to tell me about your day.
I’d say, “Can I call you later?”
Then forget till it was late.

Now I miss those little stories,
The things I thought could wait.
You were trying to share your life,
I kept getting in the way.

[Pre-Chorus]
You say, “Why did it take losing me
For you to understand?”
I don’t have a good excuse,
And I won’t give you one again.

[Chorus]
Before you say goodbye,
Tell me what I didn’t hear.
When you needed me to listen,
When you needed me right here.

I still want the life we talked about,
I still want it all with you.
But I know another promise
Isn’t any kind of proof.

If there’s something left between us,
Let me meet you where you are.
Before you say goodbye…
Could we find somewhere to start?

[Bridge]
I can’t ask you to forget it,
Or decide it’s all alright.
I just wish I’d paid attention
Before it came to us tonight.

You don’t owe me one more chance,
I know that much is true.
But if you think we’ve got one left,
I want to see it through.

[Final Chorus]
Before you say goodbye,
Tell me what you need from me.
Even if it’s hard to hear,
Even if we disagree.

I still want the life we talked about,
Every ordinary day.
And if you let me try again,
I won’t leave the work to you.

If there’s something left between us,
We don’t have to know it all.
Before you say goodbye…
Could we start with something small?

[Outro]
You look down at your coffee,
Then you look across at me.

You say, “I don’t know how to fix this.”
I say, “Neither do I.”

“But I’m listening now…”
