Last Èva's Goodbye

[Cool Distortion guitar] [Verse 1] At Martel school, third-floor hall You turned your face, said little at all In the relaxing room, I held my breath Like one small move could steal the rest In class, my pen stopped cold Your chair stayed empty, your stare stayed closed I sat there near you, too close, too long And every second felt so wrong [Pre-Chorus] I saw it start In your quiet eyes A little crack A bigger goodbye [Chorus] Last Èva's goodbye Last Èva's goodbye You drifted away And left me here to cry Last Èva's goodbye Last Èva's goodbye I was one hair from tears When you slipped out of sight [Verse 2] The board went white, the room went thin I couldn't tell where I ended, where you’d begin My throat went tight, my hands went still Like the whole day bent to your will I heard your name in the scrape of my shoes In every desk, in every bruise I tried to stay tough, tried to look fine But my soul sat down and cried inside [Pre-Chorus] I felt your no Before you said it loud A folded note Inside the crowd [Chorus] Last Èva's goodbye Last Èva's goodbye You drifted away And left me here to cry Last Èva's goodbye Last Èva's goodbye I was one hair from tears When you slipped out of sight [Bridge] If I was too near Why did it hurt this much? Why does a small goodbye Break everything I touch? The room stayed bright But I went dim I kept your shadow Under my skin [Final Chorus] Last Èva's goodbye Last Èva's goodbye You drifted away And left me here to cry Last Èva's goodbye Last Èva's goodbye I was one hair from tears When you slipped out of sight Last Èva's goodbye Last Èva's goodbye Martel school still knows What I couldn't hide
