Different Goodbyes
Michael L Prather
her new dress is lying on the floor
she had never gone this far before
looking for something more than she had
but this time she won't be looking back
it all seemed so innocent at first
drinks a smile a touch a chance to flirt
stealing away for a little fun
now she must pay for what she has done
so many questions so many lies
she's not going where she says at night
something's different in her good byes
so many questions so many lies
he had given her all of his love
but now it was no longer enough
for keeping her at home there with him
the light in her eyes for him had dimmed
so he left for her one final note
his tears staining the words that he wrote
by the time you read this I'll be gone
there's just no way I can carry on
so many questions so many lies
she's not going where she says at night
something's different in her good byes
so many questions so many lies
when she read the note he left behind
flashed through the memories in her mind
realized the price that she had paid
her tears fell to join his on the page
so many questions so many lies
she's not going where she says at night
something's different in her good byes
so many questions so many lies
