She was falling down the mountain, An avalanche of human stone As she tumbled to the valley, She thought she's better off alone He felt the pressure of a million miles underneath the sea Still taking in water from a love that couldn't be It was girls on one side, boys on the other No one was dancing or looking for love Sometimes it's over Before it begins No one takes a risk and everyone wins If you love someone, then let them go 'Cause goodbye Is the new hello The new hello She was hanging in the shadows, A ghost along the flowered walls And when she stepped out of the darkness, She thought she'll never love at all He felt the measure of a million lives underneath his skin Still waiting for the courage and the music to begin It was girls on one side, boys on the other No one was dancing or looking for love Sometimes it's over before it begins No one takes a risk and everyone wins If you love someone, then let them go 'Cause goodbye Is the new hello The new hello As the boys took the hands of the angels She watched him frozen to the floor When the lights slid off of the mirror ball She couldn't see him anymore She walked right out the door Sometimes it's over before it begins No one takes a risk and everyone wins If you love someone, then let them go 'Cause goodbye Sometimes it's over before it begins No one takes a risk and everyone wins If you love someone, then let them go 'Cause goodbye Is the new hello The new hello The new hello The new hello The new hello
