Whispered Goodbye Again - Aliza
No raised voices, no big scene
Just something in between
Your eyes avoiding mine
Like we're out of time
We stood here once before
By the same half-open door
Suitcase resting by your feet
History on repeat
You say you like it's kind
Like you're saving both our lives
Soft words falling from your tongue
But they still hit like a gun
It's a whisper goodbye again
Like we never really meant
No crashing waves, no violent end
Just quiet pretend
It's a whisper goodbye again tonight
Fading slowly out of sight
Every time we almost try
We just softly say goodbye
Coffee cup still on the table
We were almost stable
Laughing like we had a chance
At another second dance
Your hand brushes mine
But it doesn't intertwine
You walk out without a sound
Like you always can
Maybe someday we'll be brave
Or maybe love just fades
Into something we can't hold
No matter how we fold
It's a whisper goodbye again
Like we never really meant
No crashing waves, no violent end
Just quiet pretend
It's a whisper goodbye again tonight
Fading slowly out of sight
Every time we almost try
We just softly say goodbye
Door clicks in the quiet rain
And I'm alone again
With another thin disguise
From whispered goodbye
