I'm Not Saying Goodbye

A Rocket To The Moon · Greetings From... [2008]

I've painted these walls a million times, I drove so far to say these lights

The only thing I wanted was with you

And I've packed my bags, yeah I'll be fine,

I've made some calls, I've said goodbye

She'll see me in a couple days, she'll wipe the smile off my face



You're not looking yourself today

I can see it in the way that your hands shake

And you know that you're no good for no one else but me love

And you're trying not to act so cute

With your hands in your pocket and one on your locket,

Show me something new



I'm writing down your favorite things

To show you that I've read through your letters again

As pages fall, my heart falls too

You cross your t's and dot your i's

I'm not saying goodbye



I've been sleeping with the lights on baby

I know it drives you crazy, but tonight I swear we'll be alone

But damn girl, is it so obvious that I'm out of luck

And we're out of time, so tonight you'll be all mine



I'm writing down your favorite things

To show you that I've read through your letters again

As pages fall, my heart falls too

You cross your t's and dot your i's

I'm not saying goodbye



I've been sleeping with the lights on,

I've been sleeping with the lights on

I've been sleeping with the lights on, baby

I've been sleeping with the lights on, baby

I know it drives you crazy, but tonight I swear we'll be alone



I'm writing down your favorite things

To show you that I've read through your letters again

As pages fall, my heart falls too

You cross your t's and dot your i's

I'm not saying goodbye

I'm Not Saying Goodbye
