Nickel For Goodbye lyrics

[Verse 1]
I almost went to your house
Heard something about
A way to forget about things
But the newspaper said
There's bad weather ahead
So I kept on staying in bed
And it broke the day
Yeah, it sure broke the day

[Verse 2]
And the neon commercials
They were screaming insane
"You should get up 'cause you got sh*t to do"
Meanwhile people all dress up and do what they do
It doesn't mean that I have to

[Chorus]
Just give me a nickel for "I'm sorry"
And a nickel for my pride
Give me a nickel for the things I've done wrong in my life
Give me a nickel for friendship
And a nickel for the fights
Give me a nickel for "hello"
Give me a nickel for "goodbye"
[Verse 3]
Some fools remember all that they say
And forget about all that they hear
Well, I don't wanna be that fool that goes blind through the day
I wanna hear what I need to hear
Just don't break my heart
Just don't break my heart

[Verse 4]
And good friends remember good times that they got
And buried the bad ones for later
A few words of wisdom I gladly forgot
'Cause mistakes I've been making for ages

[Chorus]
But they don't give a nickel for "I'm sorry"
And no nickel for who's right
No nickel for the things I've done wrong in my life
No nickel for friendship
And two sh*ts about a fight
No nickel for "hello"
Only a nickel for "goodbye"
Just a nickel for "goodbye"

[Bridge]
And the drink, it was fading, it felt so frustrating
So I went to your house
Though they warned me, they said there was trouble ahead
Still I went to that house
[Chorus]
Just to get a nickel for "I'm sorry"
And a nickel for my pride
A nickel for the things I've done wrong in my life
To get a nickel for friendship
And a nickel for the fights
To get a nickel for "hello"
Maybe a nickel for "goodbye"
Give me a nickel for "goodbye"
Good, goodbye
