Goodbye, Monday

Leave your keys when you head out

Guess our time is over now

Tell me all of this will be

More than a face and bitter memory?

Learning to rely on no one

Breaks you faster than a long lost dream

Goodbye, Monday

I guess there's more of me to take

Goodbye, Monday

I'm starting over again today

And as I amble through familiar aches

I long to just unfold

Goodbye, Monday

You will not ever, ever know, you won't

This unexpected gift of time alone

Can stay upon the shelf

If it's not obvious

I'd like to share it with somebody else

The lazy afternoons, shared solitude

I don't want what is new

(Love, for me, can it be forever?)

I've grown up around uncertainty

So you're leaving, is no surprise

(Love, for me, don't hope for forever)

Goodbye, Monday

And those warm smiles like candlelight

Goodbye, Monday

And what little desire I had to try

No such thing as sacrifice and no means

Left to compromise

Goodbye, Monday

You still feel right at home alone

Alone

Was I never alone?

Is it all I have known?

No, I won't let this defeat me

Goodbye, Monday

I hope you're sleeping well tonight

Goodbye, Monday

I choose to take back what's mine

Knowing what one wants and what one gives

This truth will keep me whole

Goodbye, Monday

And goodbye anytime I felt alone
