Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Goodbye
Should be saying that to you by now, shouldn't I?
Laying down the law that I live by
Well, maybe next time
[Verse 2]
I've got a thick tongue
Brimming with the words that go unsung
Simmer then the burn for a someone
A wrong one
[Verse 3]
And I tell myself to let the story end
My heart will rest in someone else's hand
My 'why not me?' philosophy began
And I say
[Verse 4]
Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday
[Verse 5]
Maybe is a vicious little word that can slay me
Keep me when I'm hurting and make me
Hang from your hands
[Verse 6]
Well, no more
I won't beg to buy a shot at your back door
If I make it at the thought of you, what for?
It's not me anymore
[Verse 7]
And I'm not the girl that I intend to be
I dare you darling, just you wait and see
But this time not for you but just for me
I say
[Verse 8]
Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday
[Verse 9]
(Say) Say it's coming soon (Someday)
Someday without you
All I can do
Is get me past the ghost of you
(Wave) Wave goodbye to me (I won't say)
I won't say I'm sorry
I'll be alright
Once I find the other side of someday
[Verse 10]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 11]
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 12]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
[Verse 13]
Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday
