Within half an hour you
Will be gone and I won't see you anymore
You left my love on the line
And said that you were leaving
And you won't come home again

And I'll miss you like you're dead
Cause I never got to grieve you
Cause I saw you
In the arms of someone new

And your phantom follows me
Like a child would his mother
Or a lover who never says goodbye
And so this is goodbye

And I cry myself to sleep
And you thought I was happy
I was lonely
And had nowhere to go

And I heard that you moved on
Found a brand new family
And changed your married name

So I’ll miss you like you’re dead
And find a way to grieve you
Cause I need to try and start again

But your ghost will have to leave
Like a child will his mother
Or a lover who never says goodbye

So this is goodbye
So this is goodbye
So this is goodbye
