When There's Nothing Left To Say

So this is goodbye, it's not what I rehearsed
Sitting here thinking how this is the end
Staring at the rain
Washing away the pain
With the messages I'll never send.

A red fire that once burned so brightly
Now is dead, dying embers of blue
And all the bitter words
Burnt black safety hazards
Echo in my empty memories of you.

It's hard to believe you could sink so low
But if I can fall, well why not?
When it all comes down
I won't be around--
I got out without a second thought.

Now all those regrets and doubts I banished
Attack my fragile conscience
And deep down I know
We'll meet again below
Where it's not such a pleasant last dance.

Now I'm standing on the crooked corner
Of Second and The Broken Road
Ripping up your picture
And a fantasy future
Watching the pieces of my heart corrode.

Maybe I was wrong all along, too good to be true;
Famous last words are wasted on me
When there's nothing
Left to say or sing--
If you're looking out, that's where I'll be.

It's very sad when a relationship goes so wrong that there's nothing left to say--or even good memories...
