lyrics
Goodbye

We fell in love in secret on the backstreets of Camden Town / Stealing kisses from each other in the office when the boss was not around / We were making out in late night bars long after closing time / You handed me your heart on a silver platter, darling / So I reached deep within myself and I gave you mine / I was so glad when you said you'd move so I could go to school in my hometown / I didn't want to pressure you, you said you wanted to, you were feeling down / I worked so hard at that new school, I was always there both day and night but I never felt so alive / I know, I know, I know you felt so lonely but I thought you were on my side / Oh Darling, can't we give it just one more try? // No, the timing ain't right / You know it ain't time / Our love just ain't ripe for the picking darling / And I'm so sick and tired of this carousel ride with you // I couldn't speak a goddamn word of this strange new language in this cold new land that you'd taken us to / And I'd dreamt so much of building a new life for us but as usual nothing ever went as planned / I felt so friendless and shut out. In this world I had only you and you had too much to do / I did my best to fight it darling, but in the end I hated your friends and I hated your school and I hated myself 'cause I was losing you / Oh Darling, can't we give it one more try? // No, the timing ain't right / You know it ain't time / Our love just ain't ripe for the plucking darling / And I'm so fucking tired of waiting around on you // You promised me things would get better when you got that break and landed that great new job / But you were so focused on yourself that my love for you just couldn't keep up / I tried to focus on you too but every time I tried you were in a mood, you were like a child / I wanted you to share in my new life but every time I opened up my mouth I got criticised / I know I felt some bitterness when you wrecked my heart / I thought I'd die when I realised we'd never find our way back to the start / I said and did some stupid things that I'd take back if only I could / I'd do it all, do it all differently this time baby, if only you would / Give me one more try, don't let our love die, that's all I ask / I lay myself at your feet, I'm begging of you darling, please won't you take that chance? // No, the timing ain't right / You know it ain't time / Our love just ain't ripe for the picking darling / And I'm so sick and tired of this carousel ride with you / Yeah, I'm so fucking tired of waiting around on your heart / Darling, I'm so tired of saying goodbye to you / So this is the last time, goodbye / I really mean it this time, goodbye / I'm not kidding darling, goodbye / I can't believe we're doing this, goodbye.
