lyrics

The sun's turnin' red
Just as I was finally gettin' over today
Better wake up early
So I can get tomorrow out o' the way

You don't have to say "goodbye"
It's written on your face
I don't quite understand why
You don't occupy this space

...inside my arms, you're always leavin'
You don't even think believin's just a
Bust or a ball

What you think it's hard to tell
But now perhaps it's just as well if you don't
Even care at all

You don't have to say "goodbye"
It's written on your face
Now I don't occupy your mind
And you don't occupy this space

...inside my arms you swore you'd stay
But then you sway things all away and say that
It's down on me

I sometimes wonder how I'd feel
If you would be something for real but then I
Wax logically

You don't have to say "goodbye"
It's written on your face
I guess I'll never know just why
You don't occupy this space

No, you don't have to say "goodbye"
It's written on your face
And now I occupy your lies
But you don't occupy this space
