(joan jett/desmond child)
Here we are playin those games
Well Im runnin outta patience
And I cant stand the strain
Seems like nothin ever changes
So Im gettin out fast
Darlin our future is a thing of the past
I tried to leave you so many times
Was it hope or was it weakness
That made me so blind
Dont go promisin and dreamin
When you know it wont last
Darlin our future is a thing of the past
Hey when it was good it was great
And when it got bad it was too late
The storys really sad aint it
Goodbye I wont sit here and cry
Goodbye I really mean it this time
Youre the first one who touched me
Youre the only one to know
All my secrets and desires
So its hard to let go
But I been feelin trapped
So I better move fast
Darlin our future is a thing of the past
Hey, I didnt want to end up this way
Theres really nothin else you can say too late
Hey save it for another day
Goodbye I wont lay down and die
Goodbye I really mean it this time
Hey, dont feel so bad its o.k.
Theres no used in fightin with fate
Its better just to break away
Goodbye I wont stay here and cry
Goodbye I really mean it this time
Goodbye I wont lay down and die
Goodbye see ya
