I don't know what I was thinking on the night we met
but there was something in your eyes must've caused me to forget
that as a boyfriend I'm as useful as a crushed cigarette and I ...
ain't that good for ya neither.

But weeks go by and things don't improve,
I ask you why you're so pissed off and you hit me with your shoe
and maybe I deserved it, but maybe you did too, when you
are always so angry

Now we come to the point that we can't get past,
two codependent locomotives off the tracks approaching fast,
and the collision would be beautiful if not for the wreckage that it left behind,
so lets just call it

:Chorus:
Good night, sweetheart,
Admitting that its over is the hardest part,
but lets be honest: We were doomed from the start
and we... shoulda known better

Good night, sweetheart,
No need to be ashamed that it fell apart,
Opportunity's knocking so lets be smart and lets,
just say good night

:Verse 2:
Well we laughed so much and we fit so well
when I put my hands inside your pants, I could hardly tell
after three weeks together it'd be like a living hell each day
without so much brimstone

but something magical happened back at your place
and nothing tastes so sweet as when I kissed your face
I thanked all that I found holy and felt life was full of grace that night
but nothing lasts forever.

so now its 4AM and we're on our own
you went out dancing with your friends and watching kung fu at home
and we're as happy as we've been since when we were all alone and I
guess that's some kind of signal

:Chorus:

:Bridge:

And maybe one night is as much
as anyone shoud expect
and maybe we should just be smart
and quit while we're ahead
but is anyone good at bein smart and in love
well no, so on with the show
it gets more miserable as we go
but how do you tell someone you love, to just go away

:Verse 3:
I'm sorry that I couldn't be all the things I thought
and I'm sorry you couldn't turn me into something that I'm not
I'm not sorry about laughing, but I'm sorry I got caught when you
tried to make an omelette.

I'm sorry that we didn't spend more time in bed
and I'd be sorry about the plums, like william carlos williams said,
but nothing that poetic ever happened and instead we
just yelled at each other

I'm sorry that I didn't always treat you like I should
and I'm sorry it turns out your taste in men ain't very good,
I'm sorry about everything, but I guess that's understood by now
but still I won't regret it

:Chorus and out:

We had one night that turned out good
why don't we just say, "Good Night"
