Goodbye to Romance

[Verse 1]
You packed your bags in the rearview glow
Lipstick note on the dashboard
Short and cold
Coffee stain where your hand once shook
All our plans in a torn-up notebook
[Chorus]
Goodbye to romance
To the slow dance in my kitchen
Goodbye to the chance
That you'd change your mind and listen
If love was a loaded gun in my hands
I just watched it fall apart in the sand
Goodbye to romance
Goodbye to what we almost had
[Verse 2]
Friends all say it was meant to die
But they never saw you laugh
Saw you cry
Wedding dates circled on a calendar page
Now it's ashes in a midnight rage
[Chorus]
Goodbye to romance
To the slow dance in my kitchen
Goodbye to the chance
That you'd change your mind and listen
If love was a loaded gun in my hands
I just watched it fall apart in the sand
Goodbye to romance
Goodbye to what we almost had
[Bridge]
I raise a glass to the ghost of us
To broken trust
To broken lust
If I see you in another life
Will I know your face
Or walk right by?
[Chorus]
Goodbye to romance
To the slow dance in my kitchen
Goodbye to the chance
That you'd change your mind and listen
If love was a loaded gun in my hands
I just watched it fall apart in the sand
Goodbye to romance
Goodbye to what we almost had
