I didn't mean to break your window, I was trying to wake you up
When I saw you out last night, it hit me like a truck
I tried to call all day at work, didn't they give you my fax
And I want my goodbye back

[Chorus:]
I had a momentary, temporary, lack of self control
I said this, and I said that, I was really on a roll
It's been downhill ever since my good sense jumped the track
And I want my goodbye back

My doctor says I'm better now, but I sill feel the pain
I showed him your picture, he said man you were insane
He asked me for your number, now his left eye is black
And I want my goodbye back

[Chorus]

Yeah I want my goodbye back
