Goodbye

Give me your goodbye 
Give me away

Give me that stone cold expression of your precious face; 
Give me that old, slow confession of your pestered faith 

Give me swift heartbreak;
Give me quick heartache
 
Give me my pain.
 
Give me that runway;
Give me that runaway
 
That stumbled weak kneed;
That "why me?" God prayer 

Give me your goodbye
Give me away.
