Goodbye Should be sayin' that to you by now, shouldn't I? Layin' down the law that I live by Oh, maybe next time I've got a thick tongue Brimming with the words that go unsung I simmer, then I burn for someone The wrong one I tell myself to let the story end, oh My heart will rest in someone else's hand My why-not-me philosophy began And I say Oh, how am I gonna get over you? I'll be alright, just not tonight Someday, hey oh, I wish you'd want me to stay I'll be alright, just not tonight Someday "Maybe" it's a vicious little word that can slay me Keep me when I'm hurting and make me Hang from your hands Well, no more (no more) I won't beg to buy a shot at your back door If I make it at the thought of you, what for? (what for?) It's not me anymore And I'm not the girl that I intend to be I dare you, darling, just you wait and see But this time not for you but just for me And I say Oh, how am I gonna get over you? I'll be alright, just not tonight Someday, hey oh, I wish you'd want me to stay I'll be alright, just not tonight Someday Say it's comin' soon, Someday without you All I can do, is get me past the ghost of you Wave goodbye to me I won't say I'm sorry I'll be alright, once I find the other side of Someday Oh, oh Whoa, oh Oh Oh, oh Whoa, oh Whoa, oh Whoa, oh Oh, how am I gonna get over you? I'll be alright, just not tonight Someday, hey oh, I wish you'd want me to stay I'll be alright, just not tonight Someday
