Friends we've been for so long
Now true colors are showing
Makes me wanna cry, oh yes it does
'Cause I have to say goodbye

By now I should know that in time
Things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad?

How can I adjust to the way that things are going?
It's killing me slowly
Oh, I just want it to be how it used to be, yeah
And I wish that I could stay
But in time, things must change

So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad?
You cannot hide the way you feel inside, I realize
Your actions speak much louder than words
So tell me why

Ooh, by now I should know that, that in time
Things must change
So it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad?

By now I should know that in time
Things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad?

By now, by now I should know that in time
Things must grow
And I had to leave you behind
So why do I feel so sad if you couldn't be there, baby
Tell me why
By now I should know that in time
Things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad?
Why do I feel so sad?
(Why do I feel so sad?)

Why does it feel so bad inside when I realize
That you've got to be left behind?
