Wrong End of Goodbye

You called me a liar
You said I was weak
I'd made you a promise
That I couldn't keep
Like the sound of thunder without the rain
I left you high and dry
Now I'm standin' on the wrong end of goodbye
I'm standin' on the wrong end
Of goodbye

Did I break your heart?
Or did I break my own?
Well I'm not as callous
As the man you might've known
You can speak with a solemn, silver-tongue
Try to walk out dignified
And still be standin' on the wrong end of goodbye
Standin' on the wrong end

I know there's a danger in walkin' too close to the edge
If you live by the sword you're cut by the blade
That's a debt I've paid I guess

Now I'm on my own
Thinkin' that I'm free
But the past keeps comin'
Like a sheriff with a bounty on me
When I get a little reassurance
You sneak up from behind
And leave me standin' on the wrong end of goodbye
You leave me standin' on the wrong end
Of goodbye
Of goodbye
Of goodbye
