[Intro] (Goodbye) (Goodbye) (Verse1) You walked in slow with your sinner’s smile Like a saint dressed up in denial You stayed in character The movement was perfect I almost believed the look Perfume words and velvet lies But the truth was dancing in your eyes In your wide eyes You deserve an award Too polished, baby, too clean A practiced tear on your perfect face Cheap forgiveness wrapped in lace (Pre-Chorus1) You are only speaking now Oh, don’t say “sorry” if your heart’s asleep I can hear the cracks beneath your speech Because the light is on Because I found the exit You only came ‘cause the secret burned You are only speaking now And the tables finally turned (Chorus1) Don't say sorry (Don't say it) If you don't mean it (Not today) Don’t give me a “sorry” you don’t mean I know exactly what it means Caught red-handed, nowhere left to hide So you put on one hell of a show tonight I can see the stage I can see the mask I am walking toward the sky Ooh, for a second I believed Almost fell down at your feet But the music’s done, the lights go low It’s time for me to go — goodbye, baby, go (Goodbye) (Verse2) Silver tongue and a crucifix You sell heartbreak like magic tricks Don't try to fix the script It is too late for that Every kiss a masquerade Every promise pre-programmed and played The weight is lifting Off my chest You should be up on a theater stage Turning guilt into a cabaret And I applaud your final scene Magnificent and so obscene (Pre-Chorus2) The sky is very wide (So wide) But love without truth is counterfeit gold And your touch suddenly feels cold I am breathing (Breathing) I am breathing (Breathing) The play is over (Over) The play is over (Over) No more dancing for your crown Tonight the queen is leaving town (Chorus2) Don't say sorry (Don't say it) If you don't mean it (Not today) Don’t give me a “sorry” you don’t mean I know exactly what it means Caught red-handed, nowhere left to hide So you put on one hell of a show tonight I can see the stage I can see the mask I am walking toward the sky Ooh, for a second I believed Almost fell down at your feet But the music’s done, the lights go low It’s time for me to go — goodbye, baby, go (Goodbye) (Bridge) La-la-la, your halo slipped away La-la-la, nothing left to say Your performance nearly stole my soul But I survived the role (Chorus3) Don't say sorry (Don't say it) If you don't mean it (Not today) No more fake apologies in the dark No more lipstick stains across my heart You were brilliant, I’ll give you that A beautiful lie dressed all in black I can see the stage I can see the mask I am walking toward the sky But I won’t stay for the encore show The exit signs are starting to glow Hear my heels on the marble floor? That’s me leaving forevermore [Outro] Walk away (Away) Just walk away I am already gone (Already gone) Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye… Oh baby, goodbye. (Goodbye)
