Goodbye tastes like all the salt in the sea It rolls off the tongue so quick and easily Sometimes, it burns like hell when it comes out I wish I'd left that "goodbye" in my mouth Sorry seems to say the same old thing I guess that's why it's so hard to believe It never leaves much room for common ground I wish I'd left that "sorry" in my mouth Because it's over, and I know how it feels when someone hands you A bitter, jagged pill Then, you swallow But you can't swallow I love you is the worst one of them all Such a dangerous and hard place to fall Opens up the door to pain and doubt I wish I left "I love you" in my mouth Because it's over, and I know how it feels when someone hands you A bitter, jagged pill you try to swallow But you can't swallow But then, you swallow Goodbye tastes like all the salt in the sea
