It must be nice to be steady, it must be nice to be firm
|
it must be nice never to move off the mark
|
It must be nice to be dependable and never let anyone down
|
it must be great to be all the things you're not
|
It must be great to be all the things that I'm not
|
|
I see you in the hospital your humor is intact
|
I'm embarrassed by the strength I seem to lack
|
If I was in your shoes, so strange that I am not
|
I'd fold up in a minute and a half
|
I'd fold up in a minute and a half
|
|
And I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
|
No I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
|
|
It must be nice to be normal, it must be nice to be cold
|
It must be nice not to have to go, oh, up or down
|
But me I'm all emotional, no matter how I try
|
You're gone and I'm still here alive
|
You're gone and I'm still alive
|
|
And I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
|
No, I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
|
|
There are things we say we wish we knew and in fact we never do
|
But I'd wish I'd known that you were going to die
|
Then I wouldn't feel so stupid, such a fool that I didn't call
|
And I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
|
I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
|
|
No there's no logic to this, who's picked to stay or go
|
If you think too hard it only makes you mad
|
But your optimism made me think you really had it beat
|
So I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
|
I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
|
No, I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
|
I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
|
