Goodnight Goodbye - The High Violets

I can’t afford to let you get away

I never seem to decide

Two by four you watch as I parade

Another batch of clowns

Patiently holding on

Bitter sweet you and I

We can’t say our goodbyes

Cause our old love never dies

And others pay with hearts broken wide

And we try really try

But free’s a word that terrifies

Cause our old love never dies

Every time we try to say goodbye

It’s just goodnight

Kids we stayed that day back when

We met and you were only 24

There’s no reward for our get away

Strung up by guilt by dawn

Holding on and on

Bitter sweet you and I

We can’t say our goodbyes

The timing is never right

We tell ourselves every time

And we try, really try

To move on and hope it will subside

With boys and girls who buy our lies

But every time we try to say goodbye

It’s just good night

Bittersweet you and I

We can say our goodbyes

Cause our old love never dies

And other pay with hearts broken wide

Being free is alright

But free’s a word that terrifies

Cause our old love never dies
