Can’t Say Goodbye Lyrics

Oh, woah, woah, oh-oh, oh, oh

We may not know the mysteries of life
Why candles blows out while it was burning so bright
We'll say so long, but we can't say goodbye

We hope you know 'cause we tried to show you
How honored we are that we got to know you
We'll say au revoir, but we can't say goodbye

Like the silence of snowfall
The wind through the trees
It could happen to you
It could happen to me

We know where, we know how
We know what, but we don't know why

We looked to the stars for a signal or sign
'Cause someone like you comes only once in a lifetime
We'll say adieu, but we can't say goodbye

Like the silence of snowfall
The wind in the trees
It could happen to you
It could happen to me
We know where, we know what
We know how, but we don't know why
That's life

We may not know the meaning of life
How a candle blows out while it was burning so bright
We'll say so long, but we can't say goodbye, oh, oh-oh
We'll say so long, but we can't say goodbye, mm, mm-mm
We'll say adieu, but we can't, but we can't say goodbye

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
