I didn't mean to break your window, I was trying to wake you up When I saw you out last night, it hit me like a truck I tried to call all day at work, didn't they give you my fax And I want my goodbye back [Chorus:] I had a momentary, temporary, lack of self control I said this, and I said that, I was really on a roll It's been downhill ever since my good sense jumped the track And I want my goodbye back My doctor says I'm better now, but I sill feel the pain I showed him your picture, he said man you were insane He asked me for your number, now his left eye is black And I want my goodbye back [Chorus] Yeah I want my goodbye back
