I've got an ice-cold cup of coffee
|
And a paper I haven't read
|
A canyon in my heart
|
And a hammer in my head
|
And a waitress with an empty stare
|
That looks right through me
|
|
I'm sitting at this table
|
And I'm balancing the salt
|
Weighing out my choices
|
Baby it's nobody's fault
|
And I'm torn up by these voices
|
Talking to Me
|
|
You say there's no good reason
|
For me to walk away
|
You say there's so much good between us
|
Who wouldn't want to stay
|
But how can I be with you
|
If deep down I believe
|
I'll lose a part of me
|
|
Chorus: Sometimes Goodbye is the only open door
|
I can't turn back when I know there's something more
|
I gotta find what my heart beats for
|
|
I've got a half of page of reasons
|
And a napkin full of tears
|
From trying to pull my spirit
|
Through the pocket of my fears
|
As the lunch crowd empties out
|
Into the city
|
|
And there may not be a way for me
|
To make you understand
|
I'll write down the words I'm feeling
|
And I'll leave it in your hands
|
But the memories of our love
|
I'm taking with me
|
|
You say there's no good reason
|
For me to walk away
|
You say we're meant to be together
|
And I'm making a mistake
|
But this emptiness inside me
|
Has brought me to this road and I have to let you go
|
|
Chorus: Sometimes Goodbye is the only open door
|
I can't turn back when I know there's something more
|
I gotta find what my heart beats for
|
|
For the passion everlasting
|
For the deepest dream
|
For a chance to love like that
|
There is no in between
|
|
Chorus: Sometimes Goodbye is the only open door
|
I can't turn back when I know there's something more
|
I gotta find what my hear beats for
|

Sometimes Goodbye
