Goodnight Goodbye Lyrics
[Verse 1]
As soon as the doors slammed
And silence that fell
Was all that you left me
With a story to tell
But with cigarettes and ashtrays
That I smoked with you
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to find the truth
Lying there with you
I never listened, I never listened
All the things you said
I'll never hear again
I should've listened
[Chorus]
Don't say goodnight!
Know you really meant goodbye!
We just watched it burn
Know we could've kept love alive
I should be loving you! (Oh, oh, oh!)
I should be loving you! (Oh, oh, oh!)
[Verse 2]
Your makeup on my sheets
Your clothes on the floor
The photos that I keep
How we were before
Before I took you for granted
Before the memories were torn
As soon as the doors slammed
And silence that fell
Was all that you left me
With a story to tell
But with cigarettes and ashtrays
That I smoked with you
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to find the truth
Lying there with you
I never listened, I never listened
All the things you said
I'll never hear again
I should've listened
[Chorus]
Don't say goodnight!
Know you really meant goodbye!
We just watched it burn
Know we could've kept love alive
I should be loving you! (Oh, oh, oh!)
I should be loving you! (Oh, oh, oh!)
[Verse 2]
Your makeup on my sheets
Your clothes on the floor
The photos that I keep
How we were before
Before I took you for granted
Before the memories were torn
[Pre-Chorus + Chorus]
[Bridge]
It's time to confess, of being at my best
But this time I won't get it wrong
It's time to confess, of being at my best
But this time I won't lead you on
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
It's time to confess, of being at my best
But this time I won't get it wrong
It's time to confess, of being at my best
But this time I won't lead you on
[Chorus]
