A New Goodbye Songtext
von Nation of Language

I fear I′m falling behind
The light's obscured
A lure
Up to the second floor
Can′t keep up
I feel I'm falling behind
Is this pre-war? Oh

Every single night
You lie awake (lie awake)
Don't tell me that I′m
A soft sacrifice
A new goodbye

Every single night
You lie awake (lie awake)
Don′t tell me that I'm
A soft sacrifice
A new goodbye


I hear I′m falling behind
You're unconcerned
With love
Now I′m wasted on half-assed charm

Every single night
You lie awake (lie awake)
Don't tell me that I′m
A soft sacrifice
A new goodbye

Every single night
You lie awake (lie awake)
Don't tell me that I'm
A soft sacrifice
A new goodbye

I′ve clearly fallen behind
Your grand rebirth
But you′ll learn
It's a common thing to suppress
A hard memory
We can run away from
Run away from our yesterdays
But I confеss, I feel each one as they pass away


Every single night
You lie awake (lie awake)
Don′t tell me that I'm
A soft sacrifice
A new goodbye

Every single night
You lie awake (lie awake)
Don′t tell me that I'm
A soft sacrifice
A new goodbye

Every single night
You lie awake (lie awake)
Don′t tell me that I'm
A soft sacrifice
A new goodbye

Every single night
You lie awake (lie awake)
Don't tell me that I′m
A soft sacrifice
A new goodbye
