The Backyard Of My Life

The Wrong Side Of Goodbye


Take the last piece of my heart
Take what little i have left
Take a long hard look in the mirror
See what your doing to me
As she turns around to walk away
I thought i heard somebody say
There's no need to cry
This was not our time
In the right place on the wrong side of goodbye

Maybe in another lifetime
Some mystical place further down the line
Maybe we were lovers maybe she was mine
I guess we will never know
As she leaves she slams the door
Been down this road a thousand times before
Take your wounded wings and learn to fly
Its written in the stars
In the right place on the wrong side of goodbye

Wave hello to the look of love for me
Your strong enough you will see
With a little help from your friends
You'll get by
In the right place on the wrong side of goodbye

Take that old brown photograph
Take my dreams take it all
Take what you wish before our curtain call
As she steps out on to the stage
Leaving me trapped locked up in a cage
Like ships in the night
Screaming oh woman oh why
Were in the right place on the wrong side of goodbye

Lets say in a parallel universe
We meet up again and cure this curse
Our souls are set free and justice is served
The world is put to rights
As she takes to the platform to catch the midnight train
I wonder if she'll be back again
After all shes got that look in her eye
To let me know
Its the right place on the wrong side of goodbye
its the right place on the wrong side of goodbye
Its the right place on the wrong side of goodbye
