Goodbye On A Bad Day

You slipped off your wedding band,
And tucked it deep inside my hand.
Forced a smile and headed towards the door.
And as you walked out, I heard you say:
"Things just haven’t been going our way,
"And I don’t love you anymore."
Now, after the day I had,
I could have done without that.
I'd rather watch the house we built,
Burn to the ground.
An' stand out in the pouring rain,
Let the good Lord strike me down.
Than to sit here and watch you walk away.
Anything would be better than your goodbye on a bad day.
I’ve seen that look, I can always tell:
It means: "Stay away from me and go straight to hell."
That’s exactly where I’ll be when you’re gone.
And after a day like this, my whole world’s gone.
I'd rather watch the house we built,
Burn to the ground.
An' stand out in the pouring rain,
Let the good Lord strike me down.
Than to sit here and watch you walk away.
Anything would be better than your goodbye on a bad day.
Oh, you’re the one thing I have left,
When the whole world holds me down.
Now, how can I keep going when you’re not around?
I'd rather watch the house we built,
Burn to the ground.
And stand out in the pouring rain,
Let the good Lord strike me down.
Than to sit here and have my whole world walk away.
Anything would be better than your goodbye
on a bad day.
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh.
