Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I could tell it when I woke up this morning
'Cause I can smell it when a heartache's coming
It's not that I'm in a hurry to lose you
I'd call you up but there's nothing that I can do
[Verse 2]
Talking won't do any good anyway
'Cause goodbye's all we've got left to say
[Verse 3]
I don't think it's gonna get any better
So maybe you could just write me a letter
And I could open it up when I'm stronger
Another ten or twelve years, maybe longer
[Verse 4]
I guess I just don't feel much like bad news today
Goodbye is all we've got left to say
Hey!
[Verse 5]
Oh, now
Don't try to call me 'cause I'm taking my phone out
And if it rings then I'll know what it's about
And don't you worry 'bout me 'cause I'm alright
Maybe you'll run into me somewhere, some night
[Verse 6]
If you do just keep going your way
Oh, goodbye is all we've got left to say
Oh, goodbye is all we've got left to say
Epa!
