i guess i should be going
comes as no surprise
guess there ain’t no way of knowing
no use in wondering why
this ain’t me trying to be no poet
this is me trying to find reason or rhyme
just trying to figure out what happened
between the words i love you
and the word goodbye
thought my words might turn things
they turned on me instead
i couldn’t think of nothing
in the smoke of her cigarette
this ain’t me begging for forgiveness
after all i’d be the first to admit my crime
i was just hoping for a sentence
between the words i love you
and the word goodbye
it ain’t we didn’t meet expectation
smart money always rides on the won’t work side
it’s that i almost found salvation
between the words i love you
and the word goodbye
when it comes to love i ain’t no doubter
even so you know it even amazes me sometimes
what we all do to find shelter
between the words i love you
and the word goodbye
