I found it on the bathroom mirror this morning
The note you wrote in lipstick red
And I saw me standing there
Bloodshot eyes and messed-up hair
And I knew before I read it what it said:
(Chorus 1):
"There's coffee in the pot in the kitchen,
And a clean shirt is hangin' up to dry.
The eggs are on the shelf.
Honey, please don't burn yourself.
I love you, I'm sorry, goodbye."

All the mean things I'd done went through my head
I went back and laid down on the bed
Looking at the ceiling
I got such an empty feeling
And one by one, I went over those words I'd read
(Repeat chorus 1)

Well I looked all over town til I found you
In that all night store on 42nd Avenue
In that supermarket, people complained
About us kissin' in the check-out lane
But we've got a lot of making up to do

(Chorus 2)
Now we've got coffee in the pot in the kitchen
And a clean start on life we're gonna try
I've got you back to stay
I'll never have to say
I love you, I'm sorry, goodbye
Now I've got you back to stay
I'll never have to say
I love you, I'm sorry, goodbye
