Just Goodnight

I see the sunset reflected
in a shattered Muse CD
the first and the last one
you ever bought for me

like a time travelelver trapped in the past
you're meant to be misunderstood
I'd go back in time and love you right
baby, If I could

that summer was an eclipse
it stole the light from your eyes
One afternoon so breathlessly blue
You faded into the sky
Goodbye is hardest when
You thought it was Just goodnight.

If I'm a jigsaw puzzle
then you're the missing piece
we belong together
but we were never meant to be

Windows boarded up with rusty nails
memory lane is a dead end
I'm helpless as another dream
fades into regret

all your bright ideas
growing dim in my mind
you were so easy to admire
but so hard to define
Goodbye is hardest when
You thought it was just goodnight

the red eye to Amsterdam was leaving
I crawled all the way to your gate
but the seatbelt sign was blinking
and lightning struck too late
and maybe there's freedom in becoming
what the world never wanted you to be
and god knows I could never take your freedom
can you just promise to come home to me?

I should have seen it coming
Your smile didn’t reach your eyes
a thunderstorm was brewing
you faded into the sky
stupid world
why does it have to be so wide?
feels like everyone I've loved
has left me behind
goodbye is hardest when
You thought it was just goodnight

(goodnight, goodnight, goodnight)
