"Goodbye" lyrics

"Goodbye"

Last night when I left you fast a sleeping
I should have contemplated suicide
For the smile upon your face that's well worth keeping
By morning smears for every tear you cry
I could manage a week or two without those kisses
It'd be hard, but something tells me I could try

For that matter, whatever to make you reconsider
Is there truth when you make love to a lie?
Excuse me, but is this really goodbye?

Why did I ever let you in this morning?
Why I did let you come inside my door?
I should have known without that smile adorning your face
A kiss was not what you came for
That's when your hand reached out to touch me gently
At least that's how it happened in my mind

For that matter, whatever to make you reconsider
Is there truth when you make love to a lie?
Excuse me, but is this really goodbye?

You can't begin to understand how I think about you
(Everything)
Everything I want to do, I cannot do without you
However wrong you want, I'll be
Just please don't leave
(Don't leave)
If it means this life without you, baby
I swear I'll spend it on my knees

Excuse me, but is this really goodbye?

Last night when I left you I was so sure
We'd be together forever and four days
And now my shade of blue couldn't get no bluer
I don't even know what I did to make you go away
I could possibly stage a front and play the cool one
(Cool one)
Heart in my hand trying to hold back every cry
But who would applaud me when it's you, my one and only
Who ever gave me a good reason not to die

Excuse me, but is this really...
(Goodbye)
Excuse me, but is this really...
(Goodbye)
Excuse me, but is this really goodbye?

(Goodbye)
Goodbye, goodbye
(Goodbye)
Goodbye
(Goodbye)
