I Won't Learn That Goodbye

Sanoitukset

[Verse 1] You left your coffee by the window Half a page beneath the cup I read the sentence three times over Then folded everything back up The hallway clock is running early Your blue coat hangs behind the door I keep expecting keys to turn there Like they did the night before [Pre-Chorus] I could call, but I know What the silence means by now [Chorus] If you come back, come back honest Don’t bring promises you can’t keep I’d rather hear the hard truth spoken Than lose another week to sleep If you come back, come back slowly Leave the old excuses on the train I’m still here, but I’m not waiting For the same goodbye to start again [Verse 2] There’s a receipt inside the jacket From a diner off Route Nine Two paper cups and one blue marker Your handwriting crossing mine I’ve changed the lock, I changed the picture Moved the chair beside the wall Funny how a room gets bigger When you stop expecting someone’s call [Pre-Chorus] I could call, but I know What the silence means by now [Chorus] If you come back, come back honest Don’t bring promises you can’t keep I’d rather hear the hard truth spoken Than lose another week to sleep If you come back, come back slowly Leave the old excuses on the train I’m still here, but I’m not waiting For the same goodbye to start again [Bridge] Maybe love is not a doorway Maybe it’s the room you build With the parts you stop defending And the hurt you finally feel [Final Chorus] If you come back, come back honest Don’t bring promises you can’t keep I can meet you in the morning But I won’t disappear beneath your grief If you come back, come back slowly Leave the old excuses on the train I’m still here, and I’m still breathing But I won’t learn that goodbye again [Outro] I won’t learn that goodbye again
