SHE HAD ME AT GOODBYE

I realized the day you left
That it was all my fault
You can't expect someone to stay
When you hardly talk
Then when you do the words are wrong
And make the other cry
They tell you there will come a day
That they'll tell you goodbye

So many times you've paid the price
For all my disrespect
I heard the words you use to say
One day I'd soon regret
But I kept doin' all those things
I knew would make you cry
I never thought I'd see the day
You'd have me at goodbye

I never listened to those words
Chose not to see the signs
All my friends kept tellin' me
Quit actin' deaf and blind
One day you're gonna find her gone
She'll leave you high and dry
Then you'll know how much you lost
She'll have you at goodbye

The storm was brewing in your eyes
I seen it from afar
The thunder showed upon your face
As you walked across the yard
You walked into the bedroom
Packed your suitcase as you cried
I never knew it was the day
You'd have me at goodbye

I heard a car come up the drive
Then a knock upon the door
It was a taxi driver
I didn't know that you called for
You walked by without a word
Tears falling from your eyes
You headed right on out the door
And left me with goodbye

I stood there and was surprised
As I watched you drive away
Then walked into the house and knew
My whole world left that day
Now I'm left here with the seeds I sowed
Feelin' sorry as I cry
My friends were right and now she's gone
She had me at goodbye
