When I Said Goodbye

You were so angry, you didn't know much

So harsh on your judgements, but soft to the touch

Wrestling with demons, well that was your crutch

You're sure they were watching, but it's only a hunch

Maybe you used me, the timing was wrong

You were always so messed up, but you sang the same songs

Still I'm just as stupid, 'cause I played along

With all of your puzzles, yet I wasn't that strong

You could've had anything, but you were not surfacing

Oh I tried to save you, but I couldn't make you

And you didn't cry, when I said goodbye

You were so lovely, you never thought twice

Went out on the freeway, , but broke down at night

You were left stranded, in the city's twilight

Your escape wasn't working, but it worked out alright

You got the attention, which you sorely desired

Your head on your heart, while your heart was on fire

But if this is how love works, the idea's expired

It must be a crime now, 'cause the car was hot wired

But in the cunfusion, what else could they do?

Some gathered together, to get a good view

Before it was settled, your denials came through

You claimed you were hijacked, but I knew the truth

You could've had anything, but you were not surfacing

Oh I tried to save you, but I couldn't make you

And you didn't cry, when I said goodbye

Now in the courtroom, you don't understand

Why they're all passing judgement, but the judge won't hold hands

You showed your true colours, with your flawed master plan

The verdict was guilty, but you jumped them and ran

So you've come to my door now, in your brand new escape

You still need to lay low, but this ain't prison break

I think that I've taken almost all I can take

Can you save it for later? So they can get it on tape

You could've had anything, but you were not surfacing

Oh I tried to save you, but I couldn't make you

Now there's no need to try, 'cause this is goodbye

Yeah I tried to save you, but I couldn't make you

And you didn't cry, no you didn't cry

Yeah I tried to save you, but I couldn't make you
