​​when we’re sayin’ goodbye lyrics

I've started smoking my whole cigarette
I know that I should call it quits
You used to smoke the other half
And I'd settle for the coughing fits

I don't think that you completed me
I don't think that my heart is a half
I just think you took the whole of me
And made me glow like I'm a jellyfish

And now that I don't talk to you
There's questions burning in my mind
Like will you get sober soon
And why do we only say “I love you”
When we're sayin’ goodbye?

I always know which way is North
No matter where I am
If my compass was a clock
You'd always be my secondhand

I could cross the bridge today
Go ovеr to your side of town
I could see the witch as say
“Would you make surе my love
Is safe and sound?”
And I know the stars might not align
And I should not waste or count my time
But God, I want your hand in mine
And I wanna say "I love you"
Without sayin’ goodbye
