When You Say Goodbye
Words & Music: Geoff Drummond

When you say goodbye to me;
Please dont do it casually.
Do your best to let me see
Some sorrow in your eyes.
That way I won't feel that I'm
So lightly cast aside.

When you say goodbye to me;
Speak your lines unevenly
Have the grace to turn your face
And fumble with your hands.
Then because I love you still, I'll say, I understand.

Here I am, an extra in this cast of broken dreams
Where all the leading lines are someone else's so it seems
If my heart must play this part
Lets keep the ending clean
Please allow me some small say
In how we play the scene

When you say goodbye to me
Leave me with some dignity
Touch my cheeks and gently leave
Before you see me cry
But remember you once loved me
When you come to say goodbye.
