"America Goodbye" lyrics - BRET MCKENZIE

You told me walk out of the room
There is nothing left to say
My heart begins to tremble
Oh, as I watch you walk away
We've been dancing 'round the truth
The dream would never end
When it's over and we knew
Only so long to pretend

[Chorus:]
America, goodbye
I'm gonna miss those big brown eyes
Oh, America, goodbye
Baby, it's okay to cry

When I see you in the street
I try to understand
How the glory of it all
Slipped between our hands
All the things I wished I'd said
The things I could have done
Like a fool, I stood and stared
Let my whole world come undone

[Chorus:]
America, goodbye
I'm gonna miss those big brown eyes
Oh, America, goodbye
Baby, it's okay to cry

[Bridge:]
We're working every day
We're slipping through the cracks
We're searching for the way
But we keep on looking back

[Outro:]
Oh, all the things I could have done
To save our love, but we are done
Oh, all the things I could have done
To save our love, but we are done
Oh, America, goodbye (Oh, all the things I could have done)
I'm gonna miss those big brown eyes (To save our love, but we are done)
Oh, America, goodbye (Oh, all the things I could have done)
Baby, it's okay to cry (To save our love, but we are done)
We had a good old time
