goodbye...minus the good

originally written 09.15.03

i thought you'd always be here
right now you've made it so clear.
ticket stubs i'll hold on to
as my last memory of you.
if i ever see you pass me by
don't let it be in the arms of some random guy
'cause it's enough to make me break and burn...
i guess it's something i'll have to learn.

i thought you'd have the decency
to at least say goodbye to me.
photos of you pinned up in my mind
remind me how you left me behind.
if i ever see you pass me by
don't let it be in the arms of some random guy
'cause it's enough to make me break and burn...
i guess it's something i'll have to learn.

goodbye, goodbye.
goodbye, goodbye.
carry some memories in the back of your mind,
and carry this song, let it sink into your heart.

i shouldn't have to try
to find a reason to justify--
i'll tell myself this isn't wrong
to make it easier to move on.
if i ever see you pass me by
don't let it be in the arms of some random guy
'cause it's enough to make me break and burn...
i guess it's something i'll have to learn.

goodbye, goodbye.
goodbye, goodbye.
carry some memories in the back of your mind,
and carry this song, let it sink into your heart.

carry some memories in the back of your mind,
and carry this song, let it sink, let it sink.
carry some memories in the back of your mind,
and carry this song...

goodbye, goodbye.
goodbye, goodbye.
carry some memories in the back of your mind,
and carry this song, let it sink into your heart.
