lyrics

Arrivederci, Cimici

She said she loved me but she didn’t mean it
She said she liked Star Wars but she hadn’t seen it
I'll tell you this, and it’s no word of a lie
That the only time she told the truth, was when she said good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye

She said she didn’t want to break my heart
But in the melodrama of her life
I only ever earned a walk-on part
But I could never face the truth
When it was easier to plant the seed of a future excuse

She said she always felt just fine with me
And I would always keep her safe
I sighed, ‘You could have anybody’
A smile was her silent reply
And then she kissed me with a passion that could only mean ‘Good-bye’

So say good-bye and let it go
Say good-bye and let it go

She was a quietly borne obsession
But I was her possession
And that should have been a warning
Before she cursed me in a fashion that left no room for mourning

Arrivederci, cimici
