Bic Runga - Honest Goodbyes lyrics

Sink with the tide Rescue me if you like I'll be leaving it all up to you Think how we tried It's o.k. to be lied to As long as it's only by you People say to me it's best that we've parted 'Cause you know I'm better alone Don't explain to me how you're so broken hearted I'm too busy mending my own Ending each night with such honest goodbyes Such honest goodbyes for the last time Honest goodbyes only work once or twice They work once or twice Then the rest must be lies Late ever night the colours fade from the sky And the music is gone from the moon Standing in line for what used to be mine What use is the rhyme with no tune People say to me it's best that we've parted And nothing is carved out in stone It's such a shame how we're back where we started It's late now and time that we go Ending each night with such honest goodbyes Such honest goodbyes for the last time Honest goodbyes only work once or twice They work once or twice Then the rest must be lies The rest must be lies...
