A Girl That Said Goodbye
I'm sorry if I've been acting a little strange
But losing you wasn't supposed to happen
And it doesn't matter how much I think about it
I still come up with the same old reasons
And it wasn't part of the plan
I still remember the plans we made for the future
A set of keys and a weekend away with some time to spend
Isn't it funny how that all changed and now you don't remember
"It'll be best if we spend some time apart"
And you say: "we need some space"
But it seems I was afraid
And I couldn't give you what you needed
So you gave me what I've got
And if you see me tonight
You won't see the man that held you in his arms
You'll see a man that's cried
The man that you forgot
But maybe I forgot you too
In the search for something more
That I couldn't find even if I knew
What I was searching for
So I'm sorry if I still call you up once in a while
I know we shouldn't speak
And god only knows I've tried
Because you've moved on now honey
I can see that in your eyes
I'd love to say we had a great thing going
But it's so hard to tell after all of these lies
Sometimes I dream that you were afraid
And you couldn't give me what I wanted
So I gave you all I had
And if I found you tonight
I wouldn't find the girl that held me in her arms
I'd find a girl that lies
A girl that said goodbye
But losing you wasn't supposed to happen
And it doesn't matter how much I think about it
I still come up with the same old reasons
And it wasn't part of the plan
I still remember the plans we made for the future
A set of keys and a weekend away with some time to spend
Isn't it funny how that all changed and now you don't remember
"It'll be best if we spend some time apart"
And you say: "we need some space"
But it seems I was afraid
And I couldn't give you what you needed

And if you see me tonight
You won't see the man that held you in his arms
You'll see a man that's cried
