The Staying Side Of Goodbye

(album: With Love - 1981)

Dry your eyes, come on in
Welcome back to where I've been

So your new love made you cry
You're broken hearted, so was I

I know what you're going through
You left me there before

How does it feel on the staying side of goodbye
With the ones who wait and cry
On the wondering side of "What did I do wrong"

And how does it feel when the joke's on you
And you're the fool this time
It's your turn now on the staying side of goodbye

Losing him's not what you planned
You can bet I understand

I know how hopeless a hurt can be
At least he hurt you back to me

We've got something in common now
That we've never had before

How does it feel on the staying side of goodbye
With the ones who wait and cry
On the wondering side of "What did I do wrong"

And how does it feel when the joke's on you
And you're the fool this time
It's your turn now on the staying side of goodbye
