Always leave before the lights go on
Before the party ends, before we hit the dawn
Always leave before tomorrow comes
All the greatest loves are the unfinished ones
Goodnight, goodbye
By the time you turn around, I ll be gone
I ll be gone (x2)
You re water color, you will wash away
The spark will only fade the longer that it stays
I ve been looking for your silver lining
It s getting me nowhere
It s a waste of time
Goodnight, goodbye
By the time you turn around, I ll be gone
I ll be gone (x2)
Don t send the searchlights
You ll only waste your time,
looking for what is gone
What s gone
Goodnight, goodbye
By the time you turn around, I ll be gone
I ll be gone (x4)
