When I told you "goodbye"
I meant "I love you"
When I shouted at you in your sleep
I meant that I'm weak

I never meant "goodbye"

I drove you away when I only meant to help you
All those threatening letters-just the wrong words,
Just the wrong times to say...

When I pushed you down in the shower
Held your head under the water
I meant "you understand me"
You're like an angel's daughter

I drove you away when I only meant to help you
All those threatening letters-just the wrong words,
Just the wrong times to say...

I never really meant "goodbye"
I just like the drama, you see
But all the songs in the world
Won't bring you back to me

I dreamt you were a car
A weak six-cylinder cyclone
And I crashed and I crashed
And never made it home again
