Honest Goodbyes - Bic Runga

Sink with the tide

Rescue me if you like

I’ll be leaving it all up to you

Think how we tried

It’s o.k.

to be lied to

As long as it’s only by you

People say to me it’s best that we’ve parted

'Cause you know I’m better alone

Don’t explain to me how you’re so broken hearted

I’m too busy mending my own

Ending each night with such honest goodbyes

Such honest goodbyes for the last time

Honest goodbyes only work once or twice

They work once or twice

Then the rest must be lies

Late ever night the colours fade from the sky

And the music is gone from the moon

Standing in line for what used to be mine

What use is the rhyme with no tune

People say to me it’s best that we’ve parted

And nothing is carved out in stone

It’s such a shame how we’re back where we started

It’s late now and time that we go

Ending each night with such honest goodbyes

Such honest goodbyes for the last time

Honest goodbyes only work once or twice

They work once or twice

Then the rest must be lies

The rest must be lies

The rest must be lies

The rest must be lies

The rest must be lies

The rest must be lies

The rest must be lies

The rest must be lies
