THE GOODBYE LOOK - Written by Carroll Bryant
Nobody can ever say we didn’t
try it out
We gave it our best shot
That’s what life’s about
And nothing comes so plain
As emotions when they’re dry
You fall in love again
Just to watch it die
It’s like clinging to
yesterday
When there’s nothing left to
rest our hat on
And our conversation’s light
Why am I not surprised?
It happens every time
When wings fail to fly
Why am I so surprised?
It happens all the time
And it’s then that I begin to
realize
You have a different appetite
A brand new look that I just
can’t describe
What am I not surprised?
You have the goodbye look in
your eyes
We walked a beaten path to
everyplace we knew
Talking works it out
But not when it is really
through
And nothing’s working right
Everything’s a mess
We fight to just remember
We fight to just forget
It’s like holding onto
yesterday
When there’s never a shoulder
to rely on
And our conversation’s light
Why am I not surprised?
It happens every time
When wings fail to fly
Why am I so surprised?
It happens all the time
And it’s then that I begin to
realize
You have a different appetite
A brand new look that I just
can’t describe
What am I not surprised?
You have the goodbye look in
your eyes
No tender touch could ever make
it true
It only comes down to us
Just to me and you
No verbalized exchange
Can ever make it better
Can ever make it right
Nobody can ever say we didn’t
try it out
We gave it our best shot
That’s what life’s about
It’s like letting go of your
own hand
When the fall itself is
enough to kill you
And our conversation’s light
Why am I not surprised?
It happens every time
When wings fail to fly
Why am I so surprised?
It happens all the time
And it’s then that I begin to
realize
You have a different appetite
A brand new look that I just
can’t describe
What am I not surprised?
You have the goodbye look in
your eyes
I pretend that I’m surprised
That you have the goodbye
look in your eyes
