Sink with the tide
   Rescue me if you like
   I'll be leaving it all up to you
   Think how we tried
   It's o.k. to be lied to
   As long as it's only by you
  
   People say to me it's best that we've parted
   'Cause you know I'm better alone
   Don't explain to me how you're so broken hearted
   I'm too busy mending my own
  
   Ending each night with such honest goodbyes
   Such honest goodbyes for the last time
   Honest goodbyes only work once or twice
   They work once or twice
   Then the rest must be lies
  
   Late ever night the colours fade from the sky
   And the music is gone from the moon
   Standing in line for what used to be mine
   What use is the rhyme with no tune
  
   People say to me it's best that we've parted
   And nothing is carved out in stone
   It's such a shame how we're back where we started
   It's late now and time that we go
  
   Ending each night with such honest goodbyes
   Such honest goodbyes for the last time
   Honest goodbyes only work once or twice
   They work once or twice
   Then the rest must be lies
   The rest must be lies
   The rest must be lies
   The rest must be lies
   The rest must be lies
   The rest must be lies
   The rest must be lies
   The rest must be lies
