Goodbye lyrics

I lay in your arms

In the room where you had borne the scars,

It was late at night,

And the city lay asleep outside,

And the moon was in your hair,

And it all was so unfair,

Or was it dear?

I said I’m leaving soon,

I must go and do what I must do,

You said you’d understand,

But I really don’t see how you can,

When I said I’d make the time,

And tomorrow I’d call by,

That was a lie.

I’m no ladies’ man,

And I never will be one of them,

I didn’t steal from you,

And what happened here was nothing new,

Not to make it all sound vain,

You lay the man, you lay his name,

But lay no claim.

I can’t explain no more,

Ah girl come on, you knew before,

Before you took me home,

I can only work if I’m alone.

And when I said goodnight tonight,

When I said goodnight tonight

That meant goodbye.
