What do you mean what do you mean what do you mean)
What do you mean when you say goodbye
You're back again and I don't know why
I thought goodbye meant that we'd let it die
What do you mean when you say goodbye
I understood all of your little lies
I tried to make something out of my life
You're back again and I'm so surprised
What do you mean when you say goodbye
They all tell me that love is a game
I say well now what's her name
Let's call it something it makes me cry
What do you mean when you say goodbye
I understood all of your little lies...
Next time you'll leave then we'll both know
You can't come back here anymore
Don't come smiling I know that disguise
What do you mean when you say goodbye
I understood all of your little lies...
(What do you mean when you say goodbye)
