Honest Goodbyes Lyrics - Bic Runga

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 colors 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
