i know that it's just a word
but it's the saddest thing i've ever heard
i just tried to be your friend
now you're walking out on me again

i said, don't cry
you said, goodbye

you still can't get past yourself
to notice anybody else
i can't break into your head
i'd settle for your heart instead
crying in your beer, you've made an artform out of sad
making sure the bottle's the best friend you ever had
but it makes the problems grow,
so if you want to leave so bad, just go

took a chance to start again
and twisted it into an end
making something hard and sad
replace all the respect i had
i said, don't cry
you said, goodbye

so here we are again
my stormy weather friend
got no sun to shine on us
so i guess we'll just pretend that
there's still something here, untill the skies are clear
turn and walk away, there's nothing left to say but

goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
you said, you'd try
i know, you lie
you said, don't cry
i said, goodbye

i know that it's just a word
but it's the saddest thing i've ever heard
oh, oh, oh, oh goodbye, oh, oh, oh, oh goodbye
