The Way You Said Goodbye - Jack Savoretti

Let you get away from me You'll never be back inside my arms So what can I say I'm broken in places you said I didn't have Why was it so hard to see To see it was love until you left And now you moved on I feel alone with a stranger in my bed If I never said goodbye to you If I never broke your heart in two I wouldn't hate myself the way that I do You wouldn't have fallen for someone new If I never let you slip away If I never made so many mistakes I wouldn't have to fall asleep through the day Just so I can see your face Would you even talk to me I'm sure that we'll meet in this small town Would you look away Pretending to stare at you phone keep on looking down A million things to say But there's no words to change the past And sorry won't work Even if it's the first time I've ever said it now If I never said goodbye to you If I never broke your heart in two I wouldn't hate myself the way that I do You wouldn't have fallen for someone new If I never let you slip away If I never made so many mistakes I wouldn't have to fall asleep through the day Just so I can see your face I'm not the same king of person you met I wouldn't ever have hurt you again I know that I did you wrong I know you're already gone But I'm not the same king of person you met I wouldn't ever have hurt you again I know that I did you wrong But if I never said goodbye to you If I never broke your heart in two I wouldn't hate myself the way that I do You wouldn't have fallen for someone new If I never let you slip away If I never made so many mistakes I wouldn't have to fall asleep through the day Just so I can see your face

Can't you see? You're in the way Light of mine will fade to grey I know it, so quick Finished Stuck upon the easy part No one's ever let themself Resume that way in haste The fast lane But when in doubt, you come around Profess the love you claim that aches Inside of you It's easy to manipulate The part of you everyone takes To run away with And so above this view This pattern's the same The words have just changed The things you think are new Have always been that way You know? You know? You know? Toughen up the boundary Are you really even half as brave As everyone thinks? Could it be made differently? A deeper motivation for even more? Aren't you a little late for A second point of view? You've acted this way Your words are rearranged The ones that feel brand new Were never used that way You know? You know? You know?

He's the deflated balloon Wrapped round your gate Cut price to clear and past His sell by date He'll be the fool Running through the church yard Screaming out It's not too late And when he does I know that you'll wait He's the drunk man With bad breath coming on too strong But he's the beauty queen That strings your heart along And he'll answer Every question In your new age magazine wrong But I know you love him strong So I'm leaving For there's nothing to believe in I'm just grieving for a love I never knew Please don't go Misreading me I'm not saying You've been misleading me Just not needing me The way that I need you He's the elephant In the room that never speaks But you dream about him Every two weeks And I wouldn't know his name But you call it in your sleep Oh, I know You love him deep So run back to him Like you should I guess I always knew That you would For he's captured your heart In a way I never could So go on And love him good Oh, I'm leaving For there's nothing to believe in I'm just grieving for a love I never knew You're the book I can't stop reading I'm the stray cat You've been feeding But the tides They are receding now It's true Please don't go Misreading me I'm not saying You've been misleading me Just not needing me The way that I need you Just not needing me The way that I need you

فوسط زحمة وناس كتير وطريق أنا ماشي فيه عكس السير وسط الطموح والأمل والتمني فاضلي خطوة توصلني فوسط حاجات ومكيفات بحاول أنسى كل اللي فات في وسط صدري ضلعي مكسور ومن خلاله قلبي شايف نور أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع فوسط الليل وأنا بعيد عن البشر شفت نور يشبه نور القمر بس القمر مسيره يفارق ويسيبني تاني مع الوحدة أحارب فوسط قصة حب يعني وهمية كان لازم أصدق اصل الوحدة قوية مش كل المشاعر حقيقية أنا شفت نور معرفتش اغمض عنيا أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع

One, two, three Why are you hanging on so tight To the rope that I'm hanging from? Off this island, this was an escape plan (this was an escape plan) Carefully timed it, so let me go And dive into the waves below Who tends the orchards? Who fixes up the gables? Emotional torture from the head of your high table Who fetches the water from the rocky mountain spring? And walk back down again to feel your words and their sharp sting And I'm getting fucking tired The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ended, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour You make me do too much labour Apologies from my tongue, and never yours Busy lapping from flowing cup and stabbing with your fork I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man), and weaponise The false incompetence, it's dominance under a guise If we had a daughter, I'd watch and could not save her The emotional torture, from the head of your high table She'd do what you taught her, she'd meet the same cruel fate So now I've gotta run, so I can undo this mistake At least I've gotta try The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ends, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid (The capillaries in my eyes are bursting) Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant (If our love died, would that be the worst thing?) Just an appendage, live to attend him (For somebody I thought was my saviour) So that he never lifts a finger (You sure make me do a whole lot of labour) 24-7, baby machine (The calloused skin on my hands is crackin') So he can live out his picket fence dreams (If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?) It's not an act of love if you make her (And the silence haunts our bed chamber) You make me do too much labour
