I saw him standing in the corner
Holding a glass of wine
His hands were trembling, his heart was breaking
When his eyes ran into mine
I knew the feeling well from just one look
I didn't write it but i've lived that book
He was a victim of goodbye
A victim of a lie
Somebody somewhere made him cry
He was stranded in the night
A victim of goodbye
I walked on over, stood beside him
And told him I understood
He needed someone who needed someone
I'd love to help him if I could
The world won't end when the sun goes down
We can find new love on some common ground
We're victims of goodbye
We're victims of a lie
Somebody somewhere made us cry
Now we're stranded in the night
We're victims of goodbye
Let's just keep it honest
Lips can say too much
Don't make any promise
Don't want to fall alseep and then wake up
Victims of goodbye
We're victims of goodbye
We're victims of a lie
Somebody somewhere made us cry
But together we can survive
As victims of goodbye
