lyrics

You carried a look like a beaten-up stray
With an end-of-the-line point of view
And a head full of secrets you’d never betray
From that troubled debut
It was always goodbye with you

I tried to reach out in a genuine way
Though motives are hard to construe
I wanted to hear what you needed to say
But I failed to see all the clues
That it was always goodbye with you

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye to you

I fell in love with the songs that you’d play
With a voice that could cut me in two
From the very first tone to the final decay
Every last note of it true
But it was always goodbye with you

So goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye to you
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye to you

I realize no one is here to stay
We’re all just passing on through
We stumble through life on our feet of clay
Then spirit off into the blue
And good friends are precious and few
‘Cause people may come, but they’ll leave you, too
And it was always goodbye with you

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye to you
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye to you

So make your departure without delay
There’s nothing more that I can do
Go on as the darkness eclipses the day
No need for another adieu
Or hear my last goodbye to you
When it was always goodbye with you
