The Commonwealth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you said, "goodbye"
Ain′t that a shame?
My tears fell like rain.

You′re the one to blame.
You broke my heart
When you said we'll part
Ain't that a shame?
My tears fell like rain.
Ain′t that a shame?
You′re the one to blame
Oh well, goodbye
Although I'll cry.
Ain′t that a shame...
