(Joey Carbone, Larry John McNally, Richie Zito)

why don't we let it go
before it drags us down
people knew something's wrong
been wrong a long time now

and it's crazy
when nothing's left between us
crazy
to hold on when we're just

goin' thru the motions (goin')
we're living a lie (living a lie), oh oh
goin' thru the motions (goin')
we're both afraid to say goodbye
(goodbye) oh

I guess we stay
'cause we're afraid to be alone
we'll never find new love
'til we let each other go

and it's crazy
to pretend we care
oh, it's crazy
when there's nothing there, nothing

goin' thru the motions (goin')
we're living a lie (living a lie), oh oh
goin' thru the motions (goin')
we're both afraid to say goodbye
[x2]

unh, uh huh
unh, uh huh
unh, uh huh

goin' thru the motions (goin')
we're living a lie (living a lie)
goin' thru the motions (goin')
we're both afraid to say goodbye
[x2]

(goin' thru the motions) goin'
(we're living a lie) living a lie
(goin' thru the motions)
we're both afraid to say goodbye
(goin' thru the motions)
