The other day my wife played me a sad song
Talking bout a loved one
Who had gone and moved on
And about the place they hoped they were
A place with things that gave them happiness
No more thoughts of sadness
Only the existence they deserved
I want to know that it's true
If I could choose, then I'd believe
They're waiting somewhere for me


I don't wanna believe in endless goodbyes
I don't wanna believe that there's a final time
What if I forget things I wanna say
Knowing chances will not come again
I don't wanna say an eternal goodbye


It fills me up with so much envy
Seeing those who believe
Something more is coming
When we close our eyes the final time
All I want is to be wrong and
To find that there's a heaven
Or an afterlife of any kind
I want to know that it's true
If I could choose then I'd believe
There's something waiting for me


I don't wanna believe in endless goodbyes
I don't wanna believe that there's a final time
What if I forget things I need to say
Knowing chances will not come again
I don't wanna say an eternal goodbye


There's no way of knowing
Where our souls are going
I am only hoping
I will see the ones I love again


I don't wanna believe in endless goodbyes
I don't wanna believe that there's a final time
What if I forget things I need to say
Knowing chances will not come again
I don't wanna say an eternal goodbye
