Well I knew something wasn’t right the other night
When she came to bed angry
We used to talk before but lately we’ve been fighting
About the stupidest things
And I don’t know if we can come to some sort of conclusion here
There’s got to be an easy way to say goodbye without the pain and tears
That you cry

I never wanted to give you away
Well I still love you but I don’t need you
I never wanted to give you away
Well I still love you but I don’t need you

Every morning 6 AM she kicks her blankets off the bed
Another cup of coffee, yes
She reads a funny paper book with tea
She doesn’t feel like laughing
I never meant to cause you pain
It’s something that I can’t explain
I’d only wish you’d stop and see
That all I have is you and me
I hope you know that I tried


And I knew something wasn’t right the other night
When she came to bed angry
Used to talk before but lately we’ve been fighting
About the stupidest things
And I don’t know if we can come to some sort of conclusion here
There’s got to be an easy way to say goodbye without the pain and tears
That you cry
