Goodbye

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your mug by the sink One red lip on the rim I stood there counting the tiles Like they could keep you in Your coat still on the chair Your keys still by the door I said your name out loud Then I said it once more [Pre-Chorus] I can hear the empty In the hallway air Every little thing you touched Still thinks you’re there [Chorus] Goodbye, goodbye Don’t make me say it twice Goodbye, goodbye You were my favorite life Goodbye, goodbye I’ll learn to let it fall Goodbye, goodbye But I won’t lose it all [Verse 2] The plant on the window sill Is bending toward the glass I water what’s still living And try not to look back There’s a box by the bed Full of paper, tape, and dust I keep folding up the hurt Like folding up a trust [Pre-Chorus] I can hear the empty In the hallway air Every little thing you touched Still thinks you’re there [Chorus] Goodbye, goodbye Don’t make me say it twice Goodbye, goodbye You were my favorite life Goodbye, goodbye I’ll learn to let it fall Goodbye, goodbye But I won’t lose it all [Bridge] If you call at midnight I might let it ring If I hear your footsteps I’ll believe anything [Chorus] Goodbye, goodbye Don’t make me say it twice Goodbye, goodbye You were my favorite life Goodbye, goodbye I’ll learn to let it fall Goodbye, goodbye But I won’t lose it all
