Song lyrics
If love was a bird, then we wouldn't have wings
If love was a sky, we'd be blue
If love was a choir, you and I could never sing
'Cuz love isn't for me and you

If love was an Oscar, you and I could never win
'Cuz we could never act out our parts
If love is the Bible, then we are lost in sin
'Cuz it's not in our hearts

So why don't you go your way and I'll go mine
Live your life and I'll live mine
Baby, you'll do well and I'll be fine
'Cuz we're better off, separated

If love was a fire, then we have lost the spark
Love never felt so cold
If love was the light, then we're lost in the dark
Left with no one to hold

If love was a sport, we're not on the same team
You and I are destined to lose
If love was an ocean, then we are just a stream
'Cuz love isn't for me and you

Why don't you go your way
(Go your way)
And I'll go mine
Live your life
(Live your life)
And I'll live mine
Baby, you'll do well
(You'll do well)
And I'll be fine
'Cuz we're better off, separated

Girl, I know we had some good times
It's sad but now, gotta say goodbye
Girl you know I love you, I can't deny
Can't say we didn't try to make it work for you and I

Know it hurts, so much but it's best for us
Somewhere along this winding road we lost the trust
So I'll walk away, so you don't have to see me cry
It's killing me, so, why don't you go

Why don't you go your way and I'll go mine
(Baby)
Live your life and I'll live mine
(I'll live mine)
Baby, you'll do well and I'll be fine
'Cuz we're better off, so much better off

Go your way
(Go your way)
And I'll go mine
(I'll go mine)
Live your life
(Your life)
I'll live mine

You'll do well and I'll be fine
'Cuz we're better off, so much better off
So much better off
Separated

I'm sorry we didn't make it
