A Bad Way of Saying Goodbye Lyrics by Trace Adkins

Dreamin’ Out Loud

1996

[Verse 1]
You left without saying, I love you
And that makes three days, in a row
Now that you're tired of pretending
It's time that I let you know
[Verse 2]
I don't disagree with your feelings
We both need to find a new life
But this ain't the way we should end it
It's a bad way of saying goodbye
[Chorus]
There must be a better way, of saying it's over
Where nobody walks away, with tears in their eyes
When you stay 'til regret, is all you have left
That's a bad way of saying goodbye
[Verse 3]
When I think of you, I'll remember
How you looked at me, when we met
But the way that you're looking at me now
I'll do my best to forget
[Verse 4]
It's not your fault, but it's not mine
We both made mistakes though we tried
So leaving without saying, I'm sorry
Is a bad way of saying goodbye
[Chorus]
There must be a better way, of saying it's over
Where nobody walks away, with tears in their eyes
When you stay 'til regret, is all you have left
That's a bad way of saying goodbye
[Outro]
That's a bad way of saying goodbye
