You Can Say Goodbye (New Version)

You can lie awake at night Blaming every reason left untied The note you started to write That pretends you really tried Or you can say goodbye To faces without eyes Or you can say goodbye To voices without replies When crushed wings cannot fly When spirits given hope will not try When whispers answer every why Then you can say goodbye Then you can say goodbye You can point to the memories Rewritten by willing liars Old photos of careless choices Tossed into dying fires Or you can say goodbye To the souvenirs you despise Or you can say goodbye To the feelings you disguise When crushed wings cannot fly When the sunrise has no sky When the children are convinced to lie Then you can say goodbye Then you can say goodbye On empty nights Careless hearts Choose to move Despite the dark Howling winds And broken parts Pull chances close Then fall apart You can beg another daylight To wipe the mystery from your eyes Sit at an empty table Before the sun begins its rise Or you can say goodbye To countless half hearted tries Or you can say goodbye To everything everyone denies When the crushed wings cannot fly When some voices make you sigh When champagne glasses are dry Then you can say goodbye Then you can say goodbye When the last words you heard Needed no reply Then you can say goodbye Then you can say goodbye
