Goodbye On A Bad Day - Shannon Lawson

You slipped off your wedding band

And tucked it deep inside my hand

Forced a smile and headed towards the door

And as you walked out, I heard you say

«Things just haven’t been going our way

And I don’t love you anymore»

Now, after the day I had

I could have done without that

I’d rather watch the house we built burn to the ground

And stand out in the pouring rain, let the good Lord strike me down

Than to sit here and watch you walk away

Anything would be better than your goodbye on a bad day

I’ve seen that look, I can always tell

It means «Stay away from me and go straight to Hell»

That’s exactly where I’ll be when you’re gone

And after a day like this my whole world’s gone

I’d rather watch the house we built burn to the ground

And stand out in the pouring rain, let the good Lord strike me down

Than to sit here and watch you walk away

Anything would be better than your goodbye on a bad day

Oh, you’re the one thing I have left

When the whole world holds me down

Now, how can I keep going

When you’re not around?

I’d rather watch the house we built burn to the ground

And stand out in the pouring rain, let the good Lord strike me down

Than to sit here and have my whole world walk away

Anything would be better than your goodbye on a bad day
