Just Before Goodbye by Nina Nesbitt

You got new jeans
The hood is not gone
I'm in the new dress that I've (1)__________ worn
And I could have sworn

You didn't bat an eye when I walked
Into the room and I (2)__________ thought

You (3)__________ be the one

Have we been seeing the world through
A piece of shattered glass
Something so beautiful can (4)________ apart so fast

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

Curtains are (10)__________ but we're still dressed
The film plays on right under my bed
I ask what is left now
But you ignore, pretend that we're fine
We're not together, half of the time
I would have known the signs

Have we been (11)____________ the world through
A (12)__________ of (13)__________________ glass
'Cause something so beautiful
Can fall apart so fast
Don't you understand
Just before goodbye
You had the chance to (14)____________ your mind
Just before you lied saying
You (15)________ this your best try
It's not enough to try
You have to give your blood and (16)__________ and time
Take the world of (17)________ inside
You had one (18)________ chance to change your mind
Just before goodbye

Just before goodbye
You had the chance to change your mind
And just before you (19)________ saying
You gave this your best try
It's not (20)____________ to try
You (21)________ to give your blood and tears and time
Take the (22)__________ of hurt inside
You had one last chance to change (23)________ mind
Just before goodbye
Before goodbye
Before goodbye
