The Sweet Hello, the Sad Goodbye lyrics

Red like fire was the day I met you

I tell you now, there are no regrets

In this room there are many memories

Some are good, some I try to forget

I thought we were the chosen ones

Who were supposed to fly

We're very much the same, you and I

The sweet hello, the sad goodbye

Still waiting to get hurt, time after time

The sweet hello, the sad goodbye

When love lies in our hands, we seem to run and hide

And I can't help but wonder why

The sweet hello, the sad goodbye

My heart was like a runaway train, babe

I don't believe I've ever felt more alive

In this room I hear voices linger

We never talked about the price

You know you're not the only one

Who knows how to cry

We're very much the same, you and I

The sweet hello, the sad goodbye

Still waiting to get hurt, time after time

The sweet hello, the sad goodbye

When love lies in our hands, we run away and hide

And I can't help but wonder why

The sweet hello, the sad goodbye
