It is not that you have lost it all
It still can be getting out of sight
It is not that you have enjoyed it much
It is like heading for a smile
The great escape has turned away
And higher hopes are fading
Famous last word had never been spoken
To hand out the sorrow to you
How can you stand
Every goodbye is forever
Every goodbye seem to be forever
It is not that you are frightened
It is the rumble in your belly
It is not that you are waiting
Of being recognised (by yourself)
The songs that had stopped flowing
Now seem to you so cynical
And the remarkable precision
Is being rearranged in your decision
How can you stand
Every goodbye is forever
Every goodbye seem to be forever
It still can be getting out of sight
It is not that you have enjoyed it much
It is like heading for a smile
The great escape has turned away
And higher hopes are fading
Famous last word had never been spoken
To hand out the sorrow to you
How can you stand
Every goodbye is forever
Every goodbye seem to be forever
It is not that you are frightened
It is the rumble in your belly
It is not that you are waiting
Of being recognised (by yourself)
The songs that had stopped flowing
Now seem to you so cynical
And the remarkable precision
Is being rearranged in your decision
How can you stand
Every goodbye is forever
Every goodbye seem to be forever
