Lyrics
(Pain of) Slow Goodbyes (4:13)
Asked her for her name, she said "No"
If it's all the same, to you
"I guess that's easy enough to spell", I said
She looked me in the eyes, and smiled, then she said
"Why not stay a little longer than just awhile?"
As love stories go, ours got off the road
Can't save what won't last, the evidence is mounting
That the love is gone, new day will dawn
Hope moves on...
(Chorus)
The pain of slow goodbyes
It's all been tried
The pain of slow goodbyes
Oh, standing at the shore, every time I fear
Those clouds are rolling in
They cover me
I'm trying to tell you, I'm trying to say
The time has finally come
No avoiding, I've finally found my way
As love stories go, ours got off the road
You can't change the past, the evidence has mounted
Coming to this edge, we've come too far
A union torn apart
(Repeat Chorus)
I'm finally realizing, I'm done compromising
As love stories go, ours got off the road
The years they flew past, the evidence has mounted
Coming to this edge, we've come too far
This union torn apart
(Vamp) - The Pain of Slow Goodbyes
