Say goodbye to your shallow memories
As he signs on the dotted line
Say goodbye to any chance of romance
Because his signature put it all behind
And that’s all right
I didn’t want it anyway
That’s all right, honey
I don’t need the shame
You see this man he sticks around like glue
And you’re the paper he’s stuck himself to
At least you’re getting something for nothing, right?
The way I see it, I see its all right
I can’t dance with a memory anymore
When the memory is a repeat of a song I’ve heard before
The one about the tears and the pain
And a lonely man who’s sky only rains
Say goodbye to all you’ve had
You see its time for something new
This man will step out of the picture
When it comes to this game he’ll lose
And that’s all right
I didn’t want to play this game
When it comes to loving you
I just don’t need anymore shame
You see this man, he’s a good customer of yours
Unlike me, he won’t be complaining when you come home
If you decide to and you don’t have something better to do
But when it comes to me, you’ll just hang up the phone
The more I learn the more I’m unwilling to take
Separating the truth from the well-known lies
Leaving isn’t always what it seems to be
But the way we see it, its all right
Said goodbye but you didn’t hear me
No kiss and no words to say
I’ll just step aside for now
Just an inconvenience anyway
I laid my signature on the line
But the contract was burned and you were blind
That’s okay, there is no blame
When it comes to you I don’t need the shame
Its not okay to wait for you tonight
When you’ve got others standing in line
And your smiles are meant to be
Just for someone else and not for me
I guess for five years I’ve been disenchanted
With your broken promises and cheap romances
I’d buy you dinner but we wouldn’t be alone
I’d wait for you but I know you want to be stoned
Too many times your stories wore thin
And no matter what you’ll be caught
I spent too much time trying to get in
Only to find out that door is locked
Because I know you too well
And only strangers get the nice side of you
All the disrespect and indecision
Are left for me, its all I have of you
But that’s all right, I can understand
And even if I didn’t, I’m still a man
And man in your shadow, still a step behind
A man who’s heart you keep leaving behind
For a promise you find in their words
The same promise I read in your eyes
When you said you’d love me always
You had me believing in all your lies
Say goodbye to the endurance
I’ve managed to hold onto after all this time
I don’t need your well-thought out explanations
Because this time no reasons are just fine
There’s no tears for you to chastise
No room in my heart for well-placed lines
And I won’t relieve you of the blame
Because when it comes to guilt you have no shame
Whatever happened to your intoxicating eyes?
Those bedroom lips and bedroom lines?
I can see the changes because I won’t forget
How interesting I was to you when we first met
But now we have next to nothing of you and I
Just a few midnight kisses to turn our eyes blind
Just a few hours left of what we had
And no matter what I’ll be sad
That’s all right, at least I tried
For years and years my heart was denied
We both knew there would come a time
When I couldn’t settle for standing in line
So I guess its here for us to face the facts
If I say its over you know I won’t be back
But I’m too afraid to say those words
Because if you would want me again, it would hurt
Say goodbye to our passing memories
I guess its finally come to be that time
And I want to say I still love you so
Even without the words I think you know
But today you don’t want me
And I can’t wait on you forever
Because forever can’t be held in my hands
And I don’t have that much time to understand
