Under a purple cloud in tatters    A perfect golden sunset shatters    You keep talking like it matters    To her       I'm sitting smoking by the window    In French I'm thinking, "Mais c'est si beau"    This time you offer a placebo    Your smile       It's the way you say goodbye    No one wants it more than I    It's the way you say goodbye    You can't regret this more than I       TV makes conversation for us    Repeating commercial, cloying chorus    This endless programming will bore us    One day (I can't see when that would be)       It's the way you say goodbye    No one wants it more than I    It's the way you say goodbye    You can't regret this more than I       I know what you did, I saw you.    It's all the same, it's all you are...    (One day you'll look and see who you are)       It's the way you say goodbye    No one wants it more than I    It's the way you say goodbye    You can't regret this more than I       Under a purple cloud in tatters    A perfect golden sunset shatters    I still love you like it matters
