The Way You Said Goodbye (Acoustic Version) - Jack Savoretti

Like I said I would I picked you up at eight We drank and danced 'til late Life was just a silly game we played You and I Lovers in the night Teardrops never found our eyes Two stars fallin' from the sky Lost in time Years they come and go The hardest part to take Is they'll never come around again? Yours and mine A love we used to know Why must it be? Hearts are made to bleed Fools always believe that love will never die How can it be? I wore my heart upon my sleeve I never thought you'd leave 'til that night And the way you said goodbye Like I said I would I've gotten over you I did what I had to do I won't ever let you make me blue That's just not true Who am I kiddin' when it comes to you? I never know what else to do I've always been in love with you Lost in time Years they come and go The hardest part to take Is they'll never come around again Yours and mine A love we used to know Why must it be? Hearts are made to bleed Fools always believe that love will never die How can it be? I wore my heart upon my sleeve I never thought you'd leave 'til that night And the way you said goodbye And the way you said goodbye Lost in time Years they come and go The hardest part to take Is they'll never come around again Yours and mine A love we used to know Why must it be? Hearts are made to bleed Fools always believe that love will never die How can it be? I wore my heart upon my sleeve I never thought you'd leave 'til that night And the way you said goodbye

How many times can I tell you You're lovely just the way you are Don't let the world come and change you Don't let life break your heart Don't put on their mask, don't wear their disguise Don't let them dim the light that shines in your eyes If only you could love yourself the way, that I love you How many times can I say You don't have to change a thing Don't let the tide wash you away And don't let worry ever clip your wings Discard what is fake and keep what is real Pursue what you love, embrace how you feel If only you could love yourself the way, that I love you And if you ever choose a road that leads nowhere All alone and you can't see right from wrong And if you ever lose yourself out there Come on home and I'll sing you this song So how many times can I tell you You're lovely just the way you are Don't let the world come and change you Don't let life break your heart

Her eyes, her eyes, make the stars look like they're not shining Her hair, her hair, falls perfectly without her trying She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day Yeah, I know, I know, when I compliment her she won't believe me And it's so, it's so, sad to think that she don't see what I see But every time she asks me do I look ok, I say When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change Cause you're amazing, just the way you are And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are(yeah) Her eyes, her eyes, make the stars look like they're not shining Her hair, her hair, falls perfectly without her trying She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day Oh, you know, you know, you know, I'd never ask you to change If perfect's what you're searching for then just stay the same So, don't even bother asking if you look ok You know I'll say When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change Cause you're amazing, just the way you are And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are The way you are, the way you are Girl you're amazing, just the way you are When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change Cause you're amazing, just the way you are And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while Cause girl you're amazing, just the way you are. Yeah

You were the popular one, the popular chick It is what it is, now I'm popular, bitch Standing on the field with your pretty pom-pom Now you're working at the movies selling popular corn I could have been a mess, but I never went wrong Putting down my stories in a popular song (Ah, ah) I said I'm putting down my story in a popular song So my problem, I never was a model I never was a scholar, but you were always popular You were singing all the songs I don't know Now you're in the front row, 'cause my song is popular Oh, I said "Popular," I know about popular It's not about who you are or your fancy car You're only ever who you were I said "Popular," I know about popular And all that you have to do is be true to you That's all you ever need to know Catch up, 'cause you've got an awful long way to go I said catch up, 'cause you've got an awful long way to go Always on the lookout for someone to hate Picking on me like a dinner plate I hid during classes and in between them You dunk me in the toilets, now it's you that cleans them You tried to make me feel bad with the shit you do It ain't so funny when the joke's on you Oh, the joke's on you? Got everyone laughing Got everyone clapping, asking "How come you look so cool?" Well, that's the only thing that I learned at school, yeah Oh, that's the only thing that I learned at school So my problem, I never was a model I never was a scholar, but you were always popular You were singing all the songs I don't know Now you're in the front row, 'cause my song is popular Said "Popular," I know about popular It's not about who you are or your fancy car You're only ever who you were I said "Popular," I know about popular And all that you have to do is be true to you That's all you ever need to know Catch up, 'cause you've got an awful long way to go (I said...) Catch up, 'cause you've got an awful long way to go Before the next time that you call him crazy Lazy, a faggot or that fugayzee Here's the one thing that's so amazing It ain't a bad thing to be a loser, baby Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I said, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh" I said "Popular," I know about popular It's not about who you are or your fancy car You're only ever who you were I said "Popular," I know about popular And all that you have to do is be true to you That's all you ever need to know Catch up, 'cause you've got an awful long way to go (I said...) Catch up, 'cause you've got an awful long way to go

You talk about life and talk about death and everything in between Like it's nothing and the words are easy You talk about me and talk about you and everything I do Like it's something that needs repeating I don't need an alibi or for you to realize The things we left unsaid are only taking space up in our heads Make it my fault, win the game, point the finger, place the blame And curse me up and down, it doesn't matter now 'Cause I don't care if I ever talk to you again This is not about emotion, I don't need a reason not to care What you say or what happened in the end This is my interpretation and it don't, don't make sense The first two weeks turn into ten, I hold my breath and wonder When it'll happen, does it really matter? If half of what you said is true and half of what I didn't do Could be different, would it make it better? If we forget the things we know would we have somewhere to go? The only way is down, I can see that now 'Cause I don't care if I ever talk to you again This is not about emotion, I don't need a reason not to care What you say or what happened in the end This is my interpretation and it don't, don't make sense It's really not such a sacrifice If I never talk to you again This is not about emotion, I don't need a reason not to care What you say or what happened in the end This is my interpretation and it don't, don't make sense And it don't have to make no sense to you at all 'Cause this is my interpretation, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'd like to find out what places she's been What's behind her locked door Or better yet know if I'm out or I'm in If her elevator still runs the top floor Perhaps she would say she was a student of hope And I'm dangling from the end of a disintegrating rope But I don't wish to spark off her outraged imagination I don't wish to get into any double edged conversation It's a touchy situation Woah, yes It's a touchy situation Oh-oh-oh, yeah Someday I'll find out what I'm now afraid to ask And I'll discover what lies there beneath the door mats Perhaps she would say that I'm just deathly afraid To see her make the same mistake that I made And it might lead to some sweet revelation She knows I hate even this conversation It's a touchy situation Woah, yes It's a touchy situation Oh-oh-oh, yes I said, "Are you doing well baby?" She says, "Go ask your father" I said, "Give me yes, no, or maybe" She says, "Why should I bother?" I said She says I said, ohhh I'll ask you tomorrow I'll ask you tomorrow If I could only break the coat of her fears I could expose the secrets to the river of her tears Rattle her senses 'til she's pouring forth her tears Before she could exercise those powers of manipulation It's a touchy situation It's a touchy situation It's a touchy situation Woah It's a touchy situation Woah It's a touchy situation It's a touchy situation It's a touchy situation

When you come after me and I go after you When both of us are doing what we want to do We both lie to each other, don't care much for the truth But tell me something, tell me something Who's hurting who? Who's hurting who? (Tell me something) Who's hurting who? Who's hurting who? (Oh) You love to take the long way, I just cut straight through You tell me who I am, I tell you what to do Both of us are victims of each other's contradictions When our instincts meet, we can't break through Who's hurting who? Who's hurting who? (Tell me something) Who's hurting who? Who's hurting who, who? Who's hurting who? (You have to admit it while I'm hurting you) Who's hurting who? (Tell me something) Who's hurting who? (You have to admit it while I'm hurting you) Who's hurting who, who? You don't want to kneel To my demands and how I can make you feel This is how I make you feel And when I don't wanna know What you have to say, I just turn away and go I always turn away and go Who's hurting who? (You have to admit it while I'm hurting you) Who's hurting who? (Tell me something) Who's hurting who? (You have to admit it while I'm hurting you) Who's hurting who, who? Who's hurting who? (You have to admit it while I'm hurting you) Who's hurting who? (Who keeps hurting, tell me something) Who's hurting who? (You have to admit it while I'm hurting you) Who's hurting who? (Who keeps hurting, who keeps hurting who?)
