What can you do

When love decides to pass you by?

The more we try

The less we get along

There comes a time

In every life

When right or wrong

Is what comes between us

We've seen us fall apart

Down to the seams

Dreams

We both tried

Then love died

Old standbys

Were nice tries

So goodbye

Goodbye

We both lied

To ourselves about each other

We both cried

'Cause we needed something better

Old standbys

Were nice tries

So goodbye, ooh

Oh, goodbye

Goodbye

Our love reminded me

Of wishing on a star

It was hard to feel anything

We put us through the paces

With total disregard

For the love between us

Refused to grow

Refused to spread her wings

Dreams

We both tried

We tried, tried, tried

Then love died

No matter how we tried

Old standbys

Were nice tries

So goodbye

Goodbye

We both lied

To ourselves about each other

We both cried

'Cause we needed something better

Old standbys

Were nice tries

So goodbye

Goodbye

So goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye

We both tried

Everything within our power

Then love died

By the minute, by the hour

Old standbys

Were nice tries

So goodbye (Goodbye)

Goodbye (Goodbye)

Goodbye (Goodbye)

We both lied

We tried, we tried, we tried

We both cried

No matter how we tried

Old standbys

Were nice tries

So goodbye
