[Pre-Chorus] I tried to find the truth Lying there with you I never listened, I never listened All the things you said I'll never hear again I should've listened
[Chorus] Don't say goodnight Know you really meant goodbye We just watched it burn Know we could've kept love alive I should be loving you (Oh, oh, oh) I should be loving you (Oh, oh, oh)
[Pre-Chorus] I tried to find the truth Lying there with you I never listened, I never listened All the things you said I'll never hear again I should've listened
[Chorus] Don't say goodnight Know you really meant goodbye We just watched it burn Know we could've kept love alive I should be loving you (Oh, oh, oh) I should be loving you (Oh, oh, oh)
[Bridge] It's time to confess, of being at my best But this time I won't get it wrong It's time to confess, of being at my best But this time I won't lead you on
[Chorus] Don't say goodnight Know you really meant goodbye We just watched it burn Know we could've kept love alive I should be loving you (Oh, oh, oh) I should be loving you (Oh, oh, oh)
