They say Rome wasn't built in a day But you and I went and built it anyway And it only took a second to watch it all fall to dust I thought you hung up the moon And you thought I lit up the room But the lights turned off and it was the end of us Slam goes the door Hush goes the phone Out goes the flame And I'm standing here alone Burn goes the drink Down go the tears Drip goes the sink And I'm missing you like hell Break goes the heart Wrong goes the right Good goes the bye It's like we pulled the pin out of a grenade It just didn't go off right away But man did it go off when it finally did Everything's suddenly magnified It's loud and it's quiet at the same time As the echo of it's all over sets in Slam goes the door Hush goes the phone Out goes the flame And I'm standing here alone Burn goes the drink Down go the tears Drip goes the sink And I'm missing you like hell Break goes the heart Wrong goes the right Good goes the bye I can't go back, we can't be friends And we can't be what we were then You can't be mine, and I can't be yours And it's not love anymore Slam goes the door (Slam goes the door) Hush goes the phone (Hush goes the phone) Out goes the flame (Out goes the flame) And I'm standing here alone Burn goes the drink (Burn goes the drink) Down go the tears (Down go the tears) Drip goes the sink (Drip goes the sink) And I'm missing you like hell Break goes the heart (Break goes the heart) Wrong goes the right (Wrong goes the right) Goodbye
