Goodbye Susan (Marriner)

This is it, here it comes, say goodbye
Broken mouthed in disbelief and fake surprise
More absurd with every word I’m choking on this bitter pill
With understated overkill, I’ve practiced this a thousand times

But your tears pin my malice to the wall
And soak the carpet where my resolution crawls
Open wide and crucified, broken by a Judas kiss
Ignorance a fragile bliss, shattered and denied

CHORUS...
With a lack of grace and indecent haste
The shadows push back the light
The sun goes down on a long, long day
The end of my summer’s in sight
And you really don’t need to explain
It was all inevitable anyway
Susan it was over long before you knew

Now I know what you feel more or less
It doesn’t make it any easier to confess
I’m sorry Susan please don’t cry
I was being cruel to be unkind
A sad and bitter valentine, shattered and denied

CHORUS

Goodbye Susan please don’t cry
I knew that there was something wrong
This is a confession song
Please don’t make it hard for me

CHORUS
