What am I Supposed to Do Now?

about

Written on October 4 and 16, 1990. Ten months since my last solo written song, and three months since I wrote something with someone else. 1990 must of been the year I worked third shift (10 pm to 4am part of the year and midnight to 7am the rest). I only wrote three songs total in 1990 (so, one more to go!). Pretty sure someone had just broken-up with me.

lyrics

When you say goodbye, I felt a piece of me say goodbye
And what am I supposed to do now?
When you walk away from me am I supposed to be Alone?
Am I supposed to stay at home?
Tell me, what am I supposed to do now?

Say goodbye, I have this dream of you
I said I love you, and you said we're through
Just tell me, what am I to do?
Tell me, what am I supposed to do right now?

Could you ever come back? Would you try to stay with me?
Am I supposed to wait for you?
What am I to do? Am I ever going to get through?
Please tell me what to do
Tell me what am I supposed to do now?

When we say goodbye, do you understand why we say goodbye?
When I say goodbye, you never need to try to wonder why?
When you say goodbye, you never need to lie to cover up why?
When we say goodbye, we shouldn't have to cry to say goodbye
Please don't say goodbye
