[Verse 1]

See the sleep that rests upon

The quiet street we're standing on

Is it time to go away?

Try again some other day?

[Chorus]

'Cause these are the words we use

To say goodbye

These are the words you use

To say goodbye

[Verse 2]

Bones crack, curtains drawn

On my back and she is gone

Somewhere else, I do not know

Time will tell and I will go

[Chorus]

These are the words we use

To say goodbye

These are the words we use

To say goodbye

[Verse 3]

I will wait and take a turn

Sort it out, let it burn

And empty out an empty drawer

In my pockets, there's nothing more

[Chorus]

These are the words you use

To say goodbye

These are the words we use

To say goodbye
