good goes the bye

they say rome wasn't built in a day

but you and i went and built it anyway

and it only took a second to watch it all fall to dust

i thought you hung up the moon

and you thought i lit up the room

but the lights turned off and it was the end of us

slam goes the door

hush goes the phone

out goes the flame

and i'm standing here alone

burn goes the drink

down go the tears

drip goes the sink

and i'm missing you like hell

break goes the heart

wrong goes the right

good goes the bye

it's like we pulled the pin out of a grenade

it just didn't go off right away

but man did it go off when it finally did

everything's suddenly magnified

it's loud and it's quiet at the same time

as the echo of it's all over sets in

i can't go back

we can't be friends

and we can't be what we were then

you can't be mine

and i can't be yours

and it's not love anymore

slam goes the door

hush goes the phone

out goes the flame

and i'm standing here alone

burn goes the drink

down go the tears

drip goes the sink

and i'm missing you like hell

break goes the heart

wrong goes the right

goodbye
