"How To Say Goodbye" lyrics

The Magnetic Fields Lyrics

"How To Say Goodbye"

The only thing that I could ever feel
I can't believe it wasn't real
The only thing that I could ever feel
I can't believe it wasn't real

You can't open your mouth without telling a lie
But baby, you know how to say goodbye

The thing I spent my whole life waiting for
Has just walked out and locked the door
The thing I spent my whole life waiting for
Has just walked out and locked the door

You can't feel a thing and you won't even try
But baby, you know how to say goodbye

I'm overjoyed to hear about your wedding
I'm writing you to wish you every blessing
I'm overjoyed to hear about your wedding
I'm writing you to wish you every blessing

And I'm so happy I could cry
Oh baby, you know how to say goodbye
And I'm so happy I could cry
Oh baby, you know how to say goodbye
