"The Sound of Your Goodbye" leans into the classic tear-stained ballad with chiming guitars and a big emotional swing.

Lyrics
If there's anything at all
Anything I can do for you
All you got to do is call
And I'll be there for you

This sadness is never ending
And I've tried to walk away for good
But this heart ache is never mending 
Not sure it even could

The sound of your goodbye 
Is ringing in my ears
The sound of your goodbye 
Is the sound of falling tears
Goodbye my love
It's a sad and lonely goodbye 

She said it in a letter 
And I found in the morning
Her side was still warm
She left on a winter dawning

This sadness is never ending
And I know she's gone for good
This heart ache is never mending 
Not sure it even could

The sound of your goodbye 
Is ringing in my ears
The sound of your goodbye 
Is the sound of falling tears
Goodbye my love
It's a sad and lonely goodbye 

I sometimes think loneliness is gonna kill me
Drag me to the bottom of the lake
The thought of you leaving makes me want to scream
From this dream I can never wake
In the end love for love forsake

The sound of your goodbye 
Is ringing in my ears
The sound of your goodbye 
Is the sound of falling tears
Goodbye my love

It's a sad and lonely goodbye
