The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Here you are back on my mind where you stay quite a lot
Bringing back all the old mem'ries I thought I'd forgot
I just keep finding you with me and I don't know why
Maybe I should've been listening when you said goodbye
I can't believe how you keep hanging on to my mind
Now I know leaving means one goes and stays behind
I can't escape from you no matter how hard I try
Maybe I should've been listening when you said goodbye
[ fiddle ]
Maybe I should've been watching when you walked away
Maybe you wouldn't keep turning up day after day
If I'd paid attention I'd know you didn't lie
Maybe I should've been listening when you said goodbye
Maybe I should've been listening you said goodbye
