Can I help you, can I help you with your mood
Can I touch you, don't be so afraid
You say I bore you, that I only bring you down
Let's fill these cups and taste our world for a while
Can I be reckless, can I be out of control
Can I be bad as, as I want, just with you
But you deprive me of all my dreams and my hopes
Did you ever think that might be all I have
Nostradamus has no predictions
Shakespeare would feel nice for a while, but you say
Chorus 1:
Hello, goodbye
If you stay, don't be a pretender
Hello, goodbye
If you stay, don't be a pretender
I say hello, you say goodbye
I say I love you but you say never mind
You say if only, I say next time
You're trained to find problems, not solutions
I said so long to, and goodbye yesterday
Dug up the seeds from that bad soil in my head
You say I'm jealous, but those vibes are long gone
You cop out, run away, try one last time
Nostradamus has no predictions
Shakespeare would feel nice for a while, then you say
Chorus 2:
Hello, goodbye
If you stay, don't be a pretender
Hello, goodbye
If you stay, don't be a pretender
If you stay
You say I'm solid, what would you do without me 'round
That's what you tell me; your cards patronize my eyes
You're happy, then you say you're not at all
How can you love someone, you're not happy yourself
Nostradamus has no predictions
Amadeus is good for the heart
Then you say hello
Goodbye
Hello
And goodbye
Chorus 3:
Hello, goodbye
If you stay don't be a pretender
Hello, goodbye
If you stay don't be a pretender
Hello, goodbye
If you stay don't be a pretender
Hello, goodbye
If you stay don't be a pretender
If you stay
Don't be a pretender
