( Goodbye song lyrics )
GOODBYE WAS ALL SHE WROTE
Copyright © 1998 - mickterry.com

1: We'd said, "Hello", only four years ago.
We swore it was magic, but I think it was lust.
She'd moved right in where a vacuum had been.
It was not about logic. It was more about trust.
Trust in the moment. Trust in our feelings.
Trust in the way that her hand touched my face.
We were lost in the moment. Our hormones were reeling.
And we lost every innocence without a trace.

CHORUS:
Goodbye was all she wrote:
no other message, just a one-word note.
No explanations or contorted excuses.
What's the sense when conversation is useless?
Goodbye was all it said:
one slip of paper laying by my head.
She gave me warnings but I hadn't heeded.
Now just two syllables are all that's needed.

2: Things left unsaid would get stuck in our heads,
fermenting and festering as each day followed day.
Something got lost at an unhealthy cost
& respect got diminished as the years slipped away.
Bitch at the weather. Bitch with no reason.
Bitch at the way that her hand touched my face.
& the witch was no better. We both shared the treason.
& the itch to be rid of this mounted each day.
CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
Real communication withered to a grinding halt.
No fingers can be pointed with the both of us at fault.
CHORUS:   (x2)

To other breakup love song lyrics:   BACKING UP
ON THE ROPES
YOUR LEAVING
MORNING LIGHT
HIDDEN CORNERS
GET THE FEELING
WISHFUL DRINKING
MAYBE WE'VE HURT
THAT'S GOTTA HURT
TALKING TO MYSELF
YOU WERE THE BEST
I SOLD MY WIFE ON eBAY
GUESS WHAT I FOUND 'NEATH THE DIRTY FRIDGE?
To the TOP
