Little Goodbyes

I'm gonna tell you something you don't wanna hear

You never listen when I talk

Maybe you'll listen when I walk

So I made my mind up and made a sandwich

And I, I didn't shed a tear

I gave you one last minute of my time

In this mess I left behind

When you come home tonight and turn on the light

Don't you be surprised to find

My little goodbyes

Empty hangers by the closet door

Lipstick tube on the bathroom floor

Unpaid bills by the kitchen phone

I took the Beatles, left Billy Joel

My little goodbyes

Little good, little goodbyes

I'm sure you're sure I'll be back in just an hour or two

You can tape a hallmark to my door

They always said it better than you

And if you're wondering when you're gonna hear from me

Well, take a real good look around, boy

And it won't be hard to see

When you come home tonight and turn on the light

Don't you be surprised to find

My little goodbyes

Took your favorite Dodgers hat

Left the litter but I took the cat

Loaded up the TV in the back of my car

Have fun watching VCR

My little goodbyes

Little good, little goodbyes

So cry to your mama and your sympathetic friends

And tell 'em, tell 'em how the story ends

My little goodbyes

Took the hourglass, left the sand

Now you got time on your hands

Took the statues from Japan

Funny little Buddha man

Changed my voice on the machine

So there'll be little goodbyes with every ring

Left the pictures, took the frames

Got the umbrella, here comes the rain

My little goodbyes
