lyrics

The word is goodbye

Now your echo's here but you are gone and I still drive my life along
Couldn't wait around for for shadows in the sky
Everything's the same, but everything has changed
The word is…. goodbye

There's a million times you've lied to me
When you won't meet eye to eye with me
There's a million times I have sat and wondered why
I don't know what's real, but I do know what I feel
The word is… goodbye

Empty road ahead, empty bed, future's dead

If I looked around me I could find all the reasons you left me behind
All the times I should have read the warning signs
The writing on the wall, that I didn't see at all
Th word is…. goodbye

Empty road ahead, empty bed, future's dead

Now your echo's here but you are gone and I still drive my life along
Couldn't wait around for for shadows in the sky
Everything's the same, but everything has changed
The word is…. goodbye, goodbye!
