The Way She Said Goodbye

Sometimes words don’t mean as much

As just a glance, a gentle touch

Seen out of the corner of your eye

It wasn’t in the things she said

That let me glimpse inside her head

But did she wrap a cold and bitter lie

In the way she said goodbye

Did she think I’d understand

Hope I’d take it like a man

That she owed me no excuse

And what’s done is done

But that man who had it all

Now sent her letters, tried to call

Out of hope and out of clues

As to why she’d gone

And how he had to carry on

She could give me what I need

Wear me out and make me bleed

She could make me fall or make me fly

Now she left a shattered soul

That missed the writing on the wall

Or looked the other way just to deny

The way she said goodbye

Sometimes words don’t mean as much

As just a glance, a gentle touch

Seen out of the corner of your eye

It wasn’t in the things she said

That let me glimpse inside her head

But yes, she wrapped a cold and bitter lie

In the way she said goodbye

The way she said goodbye
