How To Say Goodbye

The Magnetic Fields · 69 Love Songs Pt. 3 [1999]

The only thing that I could ever feel

I can't believe it wasn't real

The only thing that I could ever feel

I can't believe it wasn't real



You can't open your mouth without telling a lie

But baby, you know how to say goodbye



The thing I spent my whole life waiting for

Has just walked out and locked the door

The thing I spent my whole life waiting for

Has just walked out and locked the door



You can't feel a thing and you won't even try

But baby, you know how to say goodbye



I'm overjoyed to hear about your wedding

I'm writing you to wish you every blessing

I'm overjoyed to hear about your wedding

I'm writing you to wish you every blessing



And I'm so happy I could cry

Oh baby, you know how to say goodbye

And I'm so happy I could cry

Oh baby, you know how to say goodbye
