Lyrics
1-800-GOODBYE
©2002 words and music by Marvin L. Adcock & John W. Bizzack
Oh what a shame to see the way he treated her
She nearly lost her mind tryin? to keep her faith
She got tired of fearin? him, and so tired of givin? in
Everyday she stayed she knew was a mistake
So she packed light for a one-way ride on a Greyhound
Looked around the house and sighed one last time
There was nothing? much left to say, she knew he wouldn?t listen anyway
So she left a message by the phone with just one line
CHORUS
She broke that spell that she?d been under
Found her wings and she was gonna fly
The note said ?I?ve got your number? and underlined ?here?s mine?
?You can reach me at 1-800-Goodbye?
BRIDGE
She had no place to go, but off that dead-end road
She was looking? for a place where she could heal
The scars on her heart, cause he?d gone too far
She prayed he?d change but he never will
He was primed to fight that night when he hit the doorway
Smelled of motel love and whiskey on his breath
Yelled her name and slammed the door, but he can?t hurt her anymore
She was miles away when he read the note she?d left
CHORUS (repeat)
