Good By Now Lyrics by Thelma & James
These days, a broken heart is the only break I catch
Seems like I’m going through a little bit more than a little rough patch
Still feels fresh as a daisy, a newborn baby, a cellophane cigarette pack
Eight months, three weeks, two days
But hell, who’s keeping track?
You told me goodbye then
Thought I’d be good by now
No, time ain’t been my friend
Just made it worse somehow
‘Cause here I am, no better than
The day that you walked out
You told me goodbye then
Thought I’d be good by now
If you asked me how it’s going I’d say right out of my mind
Your memory never runs out before that bottle of wine
Nights are long like a river and cold like the winter and bluer than a Tennessee sky
One foot in front of the other but I’m still at the starting line
You told me goodbye then
Thought I’d be good by now
No, time ain’t been my friend
Just made it worse somehow
‘Cause here I am, no better than
The day that you walked out
You told me goodbye then
Thought I’d be good by now
Goodbye now
Oh, ain’t any less lonely since you told me
Goodbye then
I thought I’d be good by now
You told me goodbye then
Thought I’d be good by now
Still feel the same as when
My world came crashing down
‘Cause here I am, no better than
The day that you walked out
You told me goodbye then
Thought I’d be good by now
You told me goodbye then
Thought I’d be good by now
Goodbye now
