The Day You Said Goodnight (Hale)

On a cold lonely night I sat on the dark corner of my house staring at a space. Counting the tick of the clock as I endure the excruciating release of the tonic out of my brain. I sat there struggling to have another sniff or just to let the pain of a broken heart kill me on the day he said goodnight. I have known from the start that he is already taken. Why did I wait for this night to come?

No friends to save me. No lover. Nobody. Just me, my conscience and myself. On that dark creepy house where he left me with the bondage of this thing and this comforting song.

The Day You Said Goodnight by Hale. Enough to comfort that lonesome moment when all i hear is his voice fading as he bid me goodnight...

THE DAY YOU SAID GOODNIGHT
_Hale_

Take me as you are
Push me off the road
the sadness,
I need this time to be with you
I'm freezing in the sun
I'm burning in the rain
The silence
I'm screaming,
Calling out your name

Bridge:
And i do reside in your heat
that puts up the fire with me and find
Yeah you'll lose the side of your circles
That's what i'll do if we say goodbye

Chorus:
To be is all i gotta be
And all that i see
And all that i need this time
To me the life you gave me
The day you said goodnight.


The calmness in your face
That I see through the night
The warmth of your light is pressing unto us
You didn't ask me why
I never would have known
oblivion is falling down

Bridge:
And i do reside in your light
Put out the fire with me and find
Yeah you'll lose the side of your circles
That's what i'll do if we say goodbye

Chorus:
To be is all i gotta be
And all that i see
And all that i need this time
To me the life you gave me
The day you said goodnight.

If you could only know me like your prayers at night
Then everything between you and me will be alright.

Chorus:
To be is all i gotta be
And all that i see
And all that i need this time
To me the life you gave me
The day you said goodnight.

she's already taken,
she's already taken
she's already taken me
she's already taken,
she's already taken me

The day you said goodnight.
