lyrics
Holding Out For A Goodbye
Words and music: Michael Waid
Sittin’ in a parking lot drinkin’ gin
Tryin’ to think of a pleasant way to end things
Split things
And tryin’ to figure out what went wrong
Love is not a game but it’s become one
It’s undone
We keep holding out for a goodbye
Holding out for a goodbye
If I had a window to see the past
I’d polish up the glass and draw the drapes back
I’d turn time back
But there’s too much water under the bridge
No more hope and no desire to go on
It’s all gone
We keep holding out for a goodbye
Holding out for a goodbye
I don’t know where our love went
I don’t know how to get it back
It’s gone and we can’t find it
It’s over and we can’t face it
There is no easy way to go
I’m laying beside her it’s 11:10
I’m feeling her warmth and knowing she don’t want me
“Don’t touch me”
And our little girl down the hall
Hears our fights and shouldn’t have to choose sides
She’s just five
We keep holding out for a goodbye
Holding out for a goodbye
