Lyrics
SAY GOODBYE THAT WAY
Words and Music by James Keith Norman
VERSE #1:
Burn our photographs.
Break our souvenirs.
Forget we ever had good laughs.
Remember angry tears.
Scream at you ’bout who’s to blame
And call you awful names.
CHORUS:
I’m not gonna
Say goodbye that way;
I’m gonna hold my head up high.
And I won’t look back at
all we had.
No, I’m not gonna say goodbye that way.
VERSE #2:
Drown in dreams we planned.
Drag your name through dirt.
Still feel the ring come off my hand.
Drink till I don’t hurt.
Over and over, picture you
lovin’ someone new.
CHORUS:
I’m not gonna
Say goodbye that way;
I’m gonna hold my head up high.
And I won’t look back at
all we had.
No, I’m not gonna say goodbye that way.
BRIDGE:
Believe that I never will find love again.
Accept that those days are gone.
Swear to myself I won’t trust again
no matter how much time goes on.
CHORUS:
I’m not gonna
Say goodbye that way;
I’m gonna hold my head up high.
And I won’t look back at
all we had.
No, I’m not,
I’m not gonna
Say goodbye that way.
I’m gonna hold my head up high.
And I won’t look back at
all we had.
No, I’m not gonna say goodbye that way.
