Goodbye, Stranger Lyrics by Emily Donohue

Melancholia

2018

I’ve got this funny little habit
Of falling in love
With strangers I meet
In the middle of the street
And on the subway
‘Cause they look like you
When we were young
When we were us
When we were home
Then, suddenly, I am aware of my problems
And I see why you left me
Goodbye to my lover
I’ll see you again
When the sun rises in the west
Goodbye to my heartbreak
You do it every time
So, I have to say “goodbye”
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Over my coffee, I read the paper
And it makes me smile
Obituaries, announcements, and financial profiles
It helps to distract from the fact
That you’re no longer here
But I’d rather love and lose
Then never know what it was like
To have you
Goodbye to my lover
I’ll see you again
When the sun rises in the west
Goodbye to my heartbreak
You do it every time
So, I have to say “goodbye”
Goodbye to my lover
I’ll see you again
When the sun rises in the west
Goodbye to my heartbreak
You do it every time
So, I have to say “goodbye”
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
