Right Goodbye, Gold Light
by Max Solano
“We said the thing we both knew across a little table, and it was the right goodbye. I wanted the light to stay gold, so I put it in the title.”

Lyrics
We sat across the little table Said the thing we both knew No shouting and no slamming doors Just two tired hearts in view You held my hand a minute Then you let it go And somehow it felt kind It hurts, but it's true It hurts, but it's true It was the right goodbye Gold light on the street It was the right goodbye My feet feel light on the concrete I'm sad and I'm okay Both can be true today It was the right goodbye I wish you well, I really do I walked home by the bakery Bought a little warm bread Called my sister, laughed a bit Then cried a bit instead The evening sun was gentle It didn't ask me why It just painted all the windows gold It hurts, but it's true It hurts, but it's true It was the right goodbye Gold light on the street It was the right goodbye My feet feel light on the concrete I'm sad and I'm okay Both can be true today It was the right goodbye I wish you well, I really do We were good for a season Not for the whole year No villain in this story Just a door that's open here It was the right goodbye Gold light on the street It was the right goodbye My feet feel light on the concrete I'm sad and I'm okay Both can be true today It was the right goodbye I wish you well, I really do Right goodbye, gold light I wish you well
