The suitcase waits by the doorway like it don’t belong no more

Your coat is hanging lonely where it always hung before

The rain keeps drumming steady on that old tin roof above

We sit here at the table, too afraid to speak of love

I see the questions burning in your tired hazel eyes

But I just shake my head and stare down at the floor in silence

The quiet wraps around us like a blanket made of stone

This is the moment we both knew was coming all along

The words are getting heavy, they’re too hard to explain

So, I just say it simple through the pouring rain

Goodbye, don’t ask me why

Goodbye, don’t ask me why

The highway calls my name beneath the midnight sky

Goodbye, don’t ask me why

Goodbye, don’t ask me why

I need to break this chain before the morning light

Goodbye, don’t ask me why

Goodbye, don’t ask me why

I’m leaving you and all my dreams behind

Goodbye, don’t ask me why

Goodbye, don’t ask me why

No tears can change my mind, It’s time for me to fly

Don’t ask me why…. Goodbye

You reach across the air like you want to pull me near

But something in my chest says I can’t stay another year

The memories still smile like nothing’s wrong

I touch and feel the weight of everything we’ve done

We built a little heaven out of nothing but our hands

Now it’s turning into quicksand underneath these plans

I wish I had the courage to look you in the eye

But all I’ve got is silence and this final sad goodbye

If the loneness finds you crying when the sun begins to rise

Just know I loved you truly, even when I said goodbye

Goodbye, don’t ask me why

Goodbye, don’t ask me why

The highway calls my name beneath the midnight sky

Goodbye, don’t ask me why

Goodbye, don’t ask me why

I need to break this chain before the morning light

Goodbye, don’t ask me why

Goodbye, don’t ask me why

I’m leaving you and all my dreams behind

Goodbye, don’t ask me why

No tears can change my mind, It’s time for me to fly

Don’t ask me why…. Goodbye

Goodbye, don’t ask me why…

Goodbye, don’t ask me why…
