How To Say Goodbye
Paul Tiernan
Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist


Leaving isn't quite the same
He said to me
As running away
If you're scared or tired of
What you're scared of
Well, why should you stay

He loved to say goodbye
And always counted out the time
Until he was free
To get up and leave
To learn how to breathe
Again

Slipping out to have a cigarette
With someone else that he'd never met
Asks her if by the way
Would she like to run away
And try to forget
Or just not to stay

To leave without saying why
To get up and go
To catch the last train
To get in some car
And drive out again
To never come back this way
And have to say

Goodbye

So long
Farewell
Au revoir

Goodbye

So long
Farewell
Au revoir

Goodbye

So long
Farewell
Au revoir
