Just Before Goodbye by Nina Nesbitt

You got new jeans
The hood is not gone
I'm in the new dress that I've never worn
And I (1)__________ have sworn

You didn't bat an eye when I walked
Into the room and I first thought

You could be the one

Have we been seeing the (2)__________ through
A piece of shattered glass
Something so beautiful can fall (3)__________ so fast

Just before goodbye
You had the chance to change your mind
Just (4)____________ you lied saying
You (5)________ this your (6)________ try
It's not (7)____________ to try
You have to give your (8)__________ and tears and time
You had one (9)________ chance to (10)____________ your mind
Just before goodbye

Curtains are (11)__________ but we're still dressed
The film plays on right under my bed
I ask what is left now
But you ignore, (12)______________ (13)________ we're fine
We're not together, half of the time
I would have known the signs

Have we been seeing the world through
A piece of shattered glass
'Cause something so beautiful
Can fall apart so fast
Don't you understand
Just (14)____________ goodbye
You had the chance to change your mind
Just before you (15)________ saying
You (16)________ this (17)________ best try
It's not enough to try
You have to give your (18)__________ and tears and time
Take the world of (19)________ inside
You had one last (20)____________ to change (21)________ mind
Just (22)____________ goodbye

Just (23)____________ goodbye
You had the chance to change your mind
And just (24)____________ you (25)________ saying
You (26)________ this your best try
It's not enough to try
You have to give (27)________ blood and tears and time
Take the world of hurt inside
You had one last chance to change your mind
Just before goodbye
Before goodbye
Before goodbye
