Good

Baby
I've been there, baby
For every kiss, for every tear, baby
For every scream and every touch, baby
And I'm still here.

 

Baby
You've been there, baby
For every fall, for every climb, baby
For every pain and every moan, baby
but you're not here anymore.

 

I didn't see you walk away
though my eyes barely strayed
I just see your fading footprints
as they lead away from me.

 

Did I fail you in some way
Is there some debt I didn't pay
Will you tell me, baby, please
or at least just let me be!?

 

Baby
Is this the end, baby?
After our pleas, after our pacts, baby?
After our blending and our prayers, baby?
Why won't you say, baby?
I feel you slipping further gone, baby
A concrete heart won't save your soul, baby

 

Just say it

 

Goodbye, baby.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is what I write when I listen to an entire Garbage album: A song that the tune of is reminiscent of Number One Crush and that I can hear Shirley Manson singing in my head. Oy.
