So long ago I can't remember
In October or November
You made everything seem new
I couldn't get enough of you
I don't need an explanation
Leave on public transportation
That's the way that
Lovers say goodbye
Those days that started with a kiss
Became years of wedded bliss
You'd make me laugh with just one look
Life was a bestselling book
Don't cry a river, don't sing the blues
Just pack your stuff and find your shoes
Don't bother with a long post-mortem
You let me deal with my own boredom
That's the way that
Lovers say goodbye
Time conspired to slowly change us
We didn't see it rearrange us
I'd try to please you but just annoy
And then I saw that other boy
No need to call me on the phone
I'll figure this thing out alone
Spend one last long night together
Then say goodbye once more forever
That's the way that lovers say goodbye
Don't waste my time with this and that
I'll keep the dog you take the cat
I would've loved you 'til the end
But probably can't be your new best friend
Kiss me sweet, don't tell me why
Then out the door with the other guy
That's the way that
Lovers say goodbye
That's the way that
Lovers say goodbye
That's the way that
Lovers say goodbye
