Even though your letter began with 'Hello'
And ended with 'Love, Helena'
Every single word meant
I'll never see you again

I hate to see you go, but
Too bad you're staying home
It's bon voyage this time, but
You don't even seem to know

You make a bad day much much worse
And I'm tired [Tired of Helena]
You make a bad day so much worse
And I'm tired [Tired of you, Helena]

You left me on a Tokyo train
And you never looked back
You poured ink right on my stain
And you never looked back

Even though your letter began with 'Hello'
And ended with 'Love, Helena'
I can read right through to
Your boa constrictive ways

Goodbye, Helena
You're no good for my health
So goodbye Helena
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye, Helena
You're no good for my health
So goodbye Helena
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

When it's late in the dark of night
I picture you hatching a plan
Convincing yourself
Its the right thing to do

So now you're pacing
Sitting, typing, pacing,
Reading aloud to an empty room
Crossing out with a red pen
Typing some more
Where's that red pen now?

Goodbye

Goodbye, Helena
You're no good for my health
So goodbye Helena
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye, Helena
You're no good for my health
So goodbye Helena
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Helena
