Honest Goodbyes Lyrics by Bic Runga

Honest Goodbyes Lyrics

    Sink with the tide
    Rescue me if you like
    I'll be leaving it all up to you
    Think how we tried
    It's o.k. to be lied to
    As long as it's only by you

    People say to me it's best that we've parted
    'Cause you know I'm better alone
    Don't explain to me how you're so broken hearted
    I'm too busy mending my own

    Ending each night with such honest goodbyes
    Such honest goodbyes for the last time
    Honest goodbyes only work once or twice
    They work once or twice
    Then the rest must be lies

    Late ever night the colours fade from the sky
    And the music is gone from the moon
    Standing in line for what used to be mine
    What use is the rhyme with no tune

    People say to me it's best that we've parted
    And nothing is carved out in stone
    It's such a shame how we're back where we started
    It's late now and time that we go

    Ending each night with such honest goodbyes
    Such honest goodbyes for the last time
    Honest goodbyes only work once or twice
    They work once or twice
    Then the rest must be lies
    The rest must be lies
    The rest must be lies
    The rest must be lies
    The rest must be lies
    The rest must be lies
    The rest must be lies
    The rest must be lies
