I lost a piece of my mind and you can see it on my face my heart is burning this time but there aint no fire escape

Artist-Grace Potter & the Nocturnals
Song of the day: Goodbye Kiss

The realization hit me today that my sister will be moving across the country in one week. There are few people in my life who have shaped me more than my sister and as many times as I literally follow in her foot steps, she can't take a hint and keeps moving away from me...or maybe it's really the stalker in me who can't take the hint. Either way I hate goodbyes more than most things in life and sadly can make a timeline of my life by the times I've had to say goodbye to people I really care about. Such is the price of constantly moving and not living in the same place your whole life I guess. But since I probably won't be able to stop thinking about it all week long, I thought I'd pay tribute to "goodbye songs" as I prepare to say farewell. Today's song is a bit more peppy when it comes to the subject and since I haven't stopped listening to this album since I bought it, it was the first kind of goodbye that came to mind. Got a favorite goodbye song? Send it my way!



Verse 1
I lost a piece of my mind
and you can see it on my face
my heart is burning this time
but there aint no fire escape

Pre chorus
that little part of me that used to be so strong,
is stumbling over now that I know youre moving on baby

Chorus
You were never gonna wait for me
babe I really hate to say it,
but Im gonna say it anyway

You, you know youre not the only one
Id rather just cut and run
than set the blind on yesterday
so lets just call this what it is
and give me one more goodbye kiss

Verse 2
I thought that you were the only one
who could keep my feet on the ground
I came to an empty room
and I know youre leaving town

Pre Chorus
that little part of me, thats gone for good
that was the only thing making me do the things I should

Chorus
and you were never gonna wait for me
babe I really hate to say it,
but Im gonna say it anyway

You, you know youre not the only one
Id rather just cut and run
than set the blind on yesterday
so lets just call this what it is
and give me one more goodbye kiss

Bridge
Ooh you really, really made it hard on me
you really, really were a mystery
you really, really took it out on me baby
but now Ive solved it and Im sad to say I see

Chorus
that you were never gonna wait for me
babe I really hate to say it,
but Im gonna say it anyway

You, you know youre not the only one
Id rather just cut and run
than set the blind on yesterday
so lets just call this what it is
and give me one more goodbye kiss
