You Go First
Diane Warren Lyrics
I know we've got to end this
I know we've got to go
And all we could've been, well
I guess we'll never know
But we both know it's over
It's never gonna work
I don't know how to leave you
So, you go first
So, you go first
'Cause I can't bear to leave you
'Cause I can't bear to leave you
'Cause I can't bear to go
So, you go first
You can take the first step
But that won't make it hurt less
It's gonna hurt
So, you go first
So, you go first
So you try to be strong now
I'll try not to cry
I'll be good as long as
You're the one saying goodbye
There's no easy endings
There's no sadder words
And I don't know how to say it
So, you go first
So, you go first
'Cause I can't bear to leave you
'Cause I can't bear to leave you
I can't bear to go
So, you go first
You can take the first step
But that won't make it hurt less
It's gonna hurt
So, you go first
It's no use trying
I'm trying not to start crying
Watching what we had dying
So, you go, you go
So, you go first
'Cause I can't bear to leave you
'Cause I can't bear to leave you
I can't bear to go
So, you go first
You can take the first step
But it won't make it hurt less
Oh, It's gonna hurt
So, you go first
So, you go first
You go first
I know we've got to go
And all we could've been, well
I guess we'll never know
But we both know it's over
It's never gonna work
I don't know how to leave you
So, you go first
So, you go first
'Cause I can't bear to leave you
'Cause I can't bear to go
So, you go first
You can take the first step
But that won't make it hurt less
It's gonna hurt
So, you go first
So, you go first
So you try to be strong now
I'll try not to cry
I'll be good as long as
You're the one saying goodbye
There's no easy endings
There's no sadder words
And I don't know how to say it
So, you go first
So, you go first
'Cause I can't bear to leave you
'Cause I can't bear to leave you
I can't bear to go
So, you go first
You can take the first step
But that won't make it hurt less
It's gonna hurt
So, you go first
It's no use trying
I'm trying not to start crying
Watching what we had dying
So, you go, you go
So, you go first
'Cause I can't bear to leave you
'Cause I can't bear to leave you
I can't bear to go
So, you go first
You can take the first step
But it won't make it hurt less
Oh, It's gonna hurt
So, you go first
So, you go first
You go first

I will go first. Because in truth you were never there. The best thing is for us to say goodbye.
