Lyrics
You're always onto something new
But me I can't get through the forgetting
And so I remember all the firsts we shared
Like the song and the drink
And the letting ourselves go
Always free
So then, why should this surprise me?
Another note, and this one says goodbye
Tell me, where was that moment that broke us?
Could we have tried to endure?
Or are you sure
Sure of goodbye
I never doubted your confidence
Truth is, I had the sense
That you never doubted anything
Well maybe one thing
As I read between the lines of a two-line letter
You always made your point
So much better than me, don't I know
But don't I deserve a little more than this?
Another note, and this one says goodbye
Tell me, who put the heartache in romance?
And who'll tell my why we endure
When we're sure
Sure of goodbye
How did the words all get so easy to write
But so hard to read?
It's like a riddle, or joke
But I don't get it
And no one needs this
Another note, and this one says goodbye
Tell me, where was that moment that broke us?
Could we have tried to endure?
Or are you sure
Sure of goodbye
