No Closer Word Than Goodbye

(Music & Lyrics: Ackerson)
You and I both know there isn’t much more we can say
When even little promises feel like a terrible lie
Every I need you, I love you, put nothing above you
Couldn’t be further away
Right now there’s no closer word than goodbye

Baby let’s be honest, we’re trying to hide the truth
When everyone around us knows that this isn’t right
After all the struggle, can’t we just agree
That everything we’re fighting for, isn’t worth the fight?

You and I both know there isn’t much more we can say
When even little promises feel like a terrible lie
Every I need you, I love you, put nothing above you
Couldn’t be further away
Right now there’s no closer word than goodbye

It’s not that I won’t miss you, it’s not that I don’t care
But lately I’ve been running out of ways to justify
This hurt that’s come between us, we’re too broken to repair
But even though I’m angry, I can’t stand to see you cry

You and I both know there isn’t much more we can say
When even little promises feel like a terrible lie
Every I need you, I love you, put nothing above you
Couldn’t be further away
Right now there’s no closer word than goodbye

But we were so good together… (dreaming)
We were so good together… (hoping)
We were so good together… (get out)
We were so good together… (goodbye)
Cause we were no good together… (goodbye)
Cause we were no good together, and…

You and I both know…
When even little promises feel like a terrible lie
Every I need you, I love you, put nothing above you
Couldn’t be further away
Right now there’s no closer word than goodbye
Right now there’s no closer word than goodbye
Right now there’s no closer word than goodbye
