I know your leavin's too long overdue 
For far too long I've had nothin' new to show to you 
Goodbye dry eyes I watched your plane 
Fade off west of the moon 
And it felt so strange to walk away alone 

No regrets, no tears goodbye 
Don't want you back, we'd only cry, again 
Say goodbye, again 

The hours that were yours, echo like empty rooms 
The thoughts we used to share, I now keep alone 
I woke last night and spoke to you, not thinking you were gone 
It felt so strange to lie awake, alone 

No regrets, no tears goodbye 
Don't want you back, we'd only cry, again 
Say goodbye, again 

Our friends have tried to turn my nights to day 
Strange faces in your place can't keep the ghosts away 
Just beyond the darkest hour, just behind the dawn 
Still feels so strange to lead my life, alone 

I've no regrets, no tears goodbye 
Don't want you back, we'd only cry, again 
Say goodbye, again
