LYRIC FOR SALE

By Tom Barker Songwriter

Verse 1
Grabbing keys and coffee
Running ten minutes behind
You kissed me like routine
But not like you were mine

I paused there at the doorway
Like something held me still
Was it just the morning haze
Or something we don’t feel?

Verse 2
Your voice was soft but distant
Your eyes were somewhere else
I laughed and said, “I’ll miss you”
But I was talking to myself

I turned to go, then lingered
With nothing left to do
I didn’t say goodbye again
‘Cause maybe neither did you

Chorus
You already said goodbye
Already let it die
Already in the way you wiped
a teardrop from your eye

Goodbye, then let it be
But goodbye won’t work for me
So maybe we should try
before we say goodbye

Verse 3
Now I’m driving past the red lights
In a life we used to share
Wishing you'd just scream or fight
At least that means you care

But silence made its statement
So quiet yet so loud
You left before the leaving
And I caught it in the sound
