Well I've been on the wrong side of the front door too often Watched you slam it in my face Well I may learn the hard way I'm not a soft one tonight I'm standin' in your place Cause you taught me a lot about leavin' won't even have to try So here's your lesson in heartache and grievin' and a chance for you to cry Cause it's time you learned about goodbye [ guitar - steel ] I've stood behind you and I've laid beside you but I won't do that anymore Cause I'm tired of bein' just here when you want me tonight I'm walkin' out that door Cause you taught me... Yeah you taught me... Yeah you taught me... It's time you learned about goodbye it's time you learned about goodbye
