Melissa Ferrick - Don't Say Goodbye lyrics

rate me

Well I'm trying to put it all

It all back into place

The way things were before

Before I started the race

Oh the way I used to look

And the way I used to laugh

And the way I used to carry myself

Weightless on my back

Oh but you just want the middle ground

The easy walk we took

And you would never think

To take a second look

Oh so backwards and vertical

The way I used to talk

Yeah you liked that there was a mystery

And you like that I faked a rock

Oh and you liked that you didn't need me

And you liked that I liked to steal

But now I'm on my way

I'm on my way to real

And I'm putting it back together

Like a busted plastic plane

I need a lot of glue and I've got a lot of pain

And I'm sorry if that scares you

Sorry that you're stuck

And I'm sorry that I lied to you

When I said that I would never give you up

Don't say goodbye yeah just say goodbye

Don't say goodbye yeah just say goodbye

Say it just say goodbye...

Oh and so it's fear that keeps you

Well it keeps you all locked in

You see no way out and I see no way in

Well you are the mouth

The mouth on my chin

You are my disease

You are my sin

And you scream don't leave me here alone

Don't leave me here to lose

I've got a big voice

And I'll do anything for you

Just give me one more chance

Give me one more try

I promise I won't kill you

And I promise I won't lie

Well yes I hear you calling

Through your booming dark braid

Yes I hear you calling

And you're asking me to stay

But I have heard you before

Before I soothed your rash

Before I stopped the itch

And I'll never, ever, ever take you back

Don't say goodbye yeah, just say goodbye

Don't say goodbye, yeah, just say goodbye...
