Kiss Goodbye

As I slide the key into the ignition of this old truck and fire it up

I'm struck hard by the heaviness of this situation

My eyes are fixed on the small silver half heart keychain

You gave me dangling in the dashboard light

I read the word "forever" over and over again, I wanna cry

I turn off my radio as I turn off your county road

To pick you up just like I've done at least a thousand times

The gravel underneath these tires

Half mile stretch of old barbed wire

Drops of rain falling from the sky seem to know my pain

Know that I'm about to

Reach out to hold your hand in mine

Feel your love baby one more time

Press against your lips and hold you tight

I know the next kiss is a kiss goodbye

I could put it off for another day

Act like everything's gonna be okay

It's gonna break my heart to see you cry

I know the next kiss is a kiss goodbye

♪

See it's not that what I got to do

Is more important than you

It's just what I gotta do

And I know you don't understand

Hell I don't understand myself

As I pull up to your house

I feel my head spinning around

Just thinkin' about how everything is about to change

Every step I take towards your door

I'm a little less certain than the step before

Oh but I know, I know, I know what I gotta do

I got to reach out and hold your hand in mine

Feel your love baby one more time

Press against your lips and hold you tight

I know the next kiss is a kiss goodbye

I could put it off for another day

Act like everything's gonna be okay

It's gonna break my heart to see you cry

I know the next kiss is a kiss goodbye

♪

Reach out and hold your hand in mine

Feel your love baby one more time

Press against your lips and hold you tight

Yeah I could put it off for another day

And act like everything's gonna be okay

It's gonna break my heart to see you cry

I know the next kiss is a kiss goodbye

Goodbye
