I count the ways I let you down
On my fingers and toes but I'm running out
Clever words can't help me now
I grip you tight but you're slipping out
And I remember your eyes were so bright
When I first met you, so in love that night
And now I'm kissing your tears goodnight
And I can't take it, you're even perfect when you cry
Beautiful goodbye, bye, bye
It's dripping from your eyes, your beautiful goodbye
It's dripping from your eyes, oh yeah
When did the rain become a storm?
When did the clouds begin to form?
Yeah we got knocked out of course by a natural force
And well, we'll be swimming when it's gone
And I remember your eyes were so bright
When I first met you, so in love that night
And now I'm kissing your tears goodnight
And I can't take it, you're even perfect when you cry
Beautiful goodbye, bye, bye
It's dripping from your eyes, your beautiful goodbye
It's dripping from your eyes, oh yeah
All the pain you try to hide
Chose your mascara lines as they stream down from your eyes
And let them go, let them fly
Holding back, won't turn back time
Believe me, I've tried
And your eyes were so bright
And I remember your eyes were so bright
I remember your eyes were so bright
When I first met you, how in love were we that night
And now I'm kissing your tears goodnight
And I can't take it, you're even perfect when you cry
Beautiful goodbye, bye, bye
It's dripping from your eyes, your beautiful goodbye
It's dripping from your eyes, yeah
Beau...
Oh yeah
(laugh)
