Good Goes the Bye

  • They say Rome wasn't built in a day
    But you and I went and built it anyway
    And it only took a second to watch it all fall to dust
    I thought you hung up the moon
    And you thought I lit up the room
    But the lights turned off and it was the end of us

    Slam goes the door
    Hush goes the phone
    Out goes the flame
    And I'm standing here alone
    Burn goes the drink
    Down go the tears
    Drip goes the sink
    And I'm missing you like hell
    Break goes the heart
    Wrong goes the right
    Good goes the bye

    It's like we pulled the pin out of a grenade
    It just didn't go off right away
    But man did it go off when it finally did
    Everything's suddenly magnified
    It's loud and it's quiet at the same time
    As the echo of it's all over sets in

    Slam goes the door
    Hush goes the phone
    Out goes the flame
    And I'm standing here alone
    Burn goes the drink
    Down go the tears
    Drip goes the sink
    And I'm missing you like hell
    Break goes the heart
    Wrong goes the right
    Good goes the bye

    I can't go back, we can't be friends
    And we can't be what we were then
    You can't be mine, and I can't be yours
    And it's not love anymore

    Slam goes the door (Slam goes the door)
    Hush goes the phone (Hush goes the phone)
    Out goes the flame (Out goes the flame)
    And I'm standing here alone
    Burn goes the drink (Burn goes the drink)
    Down go the tears (Down go the tears)
    Drip goes the sink (Drip goes the sink)
    And I'm missing you like hell
    Break goes the heart (Break goes the heart)
    Wrong goes the right (Wrong goes the right)
