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
