Lyrics

(J. buckley)

This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it's over
Just hear this and then I'll go:
You gave me more to live for
More than you'll ever know

Well, this is our last embrace
Must I dream and always see your face?
Why can't we overcome this wall?
Baby, maybe it's just because I didn't know you at all

Kiss me, please kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
Oh, you know it makes me so angry 'cause I know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye

Did you say, "no, this can't happen to me"?
And did you rush to the phone to call?
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind saying
"Maybe, you didn't know him at all
You didn't know him at all
Oh, you didn't know"?

Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes, and the memories
Offer signs that it's over, it's over
