SEVEN-LETTER WORD FOR

What happened to us
we used to walk along the shore
and gaze far out to sea
Scrabble in the evening
and finished in the morn
you just left one day, and I don't know why
it's that seven-letter word, goodbye

Now I'm on my own
my heart's unemployed
we used to love all the time
Now I play Scrabble alone
you declared us null and void
and I wonder if I'll ever know why
you put down that seven-letter word, goodbye

We were happy back then
I know that's true
so why now the famine of love
like the blank tiles in scrabble
a sunken ship without a crew
and you never even told me why
you put down that seven-letter word, goodbye
