Been going back and forth
Trying to justify what you're about to do
And I'm still not sure
How this is what is best for me and you

I've listened every time that you've explained it
You say it's only time apart
But let's face it

You can call it what you want
That won't change a thing
You may have the best intentions and that's fine
But despite everything you say
Once you finally drive away
You can call it what you want
It's still goodbye

Well, there's a fine line
Between a temporary thing and forever
And in this day and time
Love is hard enough even when you're both together

So don't tell me that this will bring us closer
Because from where I stand
It sure looks like it's over

You can call it what you want
That won't change a thing
You may have the best intentions and that's fine
But despite everything you say
Once you finally drive away
You can call it what you want
It's still goodbye

You say this distance
You say it's good for us
Oh, but I think
You've gone far enough

You can call it what you want
That won't change a thing
You may have the best intentions and that's fine
But despite everything you say
Once you finally drive away
You can call it what you want
It's still goodbye

You can call it what you want
It's still goodbye
