Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just watch the sunrise
On the other side of town
Once more I've waited
And once more you've let me down
[Chorus]
This would be a perfect time for me to die
So I'd like to take this opportunity to cry
[Verse 2]
You gave your word
Now I return it to you
With this suggestion
As to what you should do
[Chorus]
Just exchange the words "I love you" to "Goodbye"
While I take this opportunity to cry
[Bridge]
I'd like to see you, but I'm afraid
I don't know wrong from right
If I saw you
Would I kiss you
Or want to kill you on sight?
[Verse 3]
It's been a long time, so I think I'll go home
And feed my nightmares
They've been waiting all night long
[Chorus]
They'd be the last ones to tell me goodbye
They'll give me many opportunities to cry
