Goodbye Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Conversation, no sensation
Things I've yet to say
Your words still sting, just lingering
I hang my head in weak dismay

Thoughts of sorrow, bar tomorrow
Keep me from the night
I walk the paths back to the past
And they all lead to the same place

[Chorus]
Why do I still call your name?
After all this time has passed
When I think of what we could have been like
Think of what we could have been

Why do I still feel the same?
You and I weren’t meant to last
But I think of what we could have been like
Think of what we could have

[Verse 2]
Former feelings still have meaning
Voids I've yet to fill
There's moving on, it’s been and gone
But I can't help but keep standing still
Your affection, stark reflection
How things used to be
Gotta bide my time, gotta keep me mine
Gotta stop myself from thinking

[Chorus]
Why do I still call your name?
After all this time has passed
When I think of what we could have been like
Think of what we could have been

Why do I still feel the same?
You and I weren't meant to last
But I think of what we could have been like
Think of what we could have
Think of what we could have been

[Bridge]
Broken
Is how you left me
Unspoken
Your thoughts about me now
Shattered
The trust I held in you
Mattered
I guess you'd disagree
Darling
The rift between us is
Startling
These shifting waves hold me
Under
I hold my breath and I
Wonder
Do you still think of me?

[Outro]
Why was it easy?
Why was it just me?
Why did it all make sense?
It never hit me 'til your hand just slipped right through mine
Until your hand just slipped right through mine

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
