[Verse 1]
They say Rome wasn't built in a day
But you and I went and built it anyway
And it only took a second to watch it all fall to dust
I thought you hung up the moon
And you thought I lit up the room
But the lights turned off and it was the end of us

[Chorus]
Slam goes the door
Hush goes the phone
Out goes the flame
And I'm standing here alone
Burn goes the drink
Down go the tears
Drip goes the sink
And I'm missing you like hell
Break goes the heart
Wrong goes the right
Good goes the bye

[Verse 2]
It's like we pulled a pin out of a grenade
It just didn't go off right away
But man, did it go off when it finally did
And everything's suddenly magnified
It's loud and it's quiet at the same time
As the echo of "It's all over" sets in

[Chorus]
Slam goes the door
Hush goes the phone
Out goes the flame
And I'm standing here alone
Burn goes the drink
Down go the tears
Drip goes the sink
And I'm missing you like hell
Break goes the heart
Wrong goes the right
Good goes the bye

[Bridge]
We can't go back, we can't be friends
And we can't be what we were then
You can't be mine, and I can't be yours
And it's not love anymore

[Chorus]
Slam goes the door (Slam goes the door)
Hush goes the phone (Hush goes the phone)
Out goes the flame (Out goes the flame)
And I'm standing here alone (And I'm standing here alone)
Burn goes the drink (Burn goes the drink)
Down go the tears (Down go the tears)
Drip goes the sink (Drip goes the sink)
And I'm missing you like hell (And I'm missing you like hell)
Break goes the heart (Break goes the heart)
Wrong goes the right (Wrong goes the right)
Good goes the bye
Goodbye

Kelly Brianne Clarkson (born April 24, 1982) is an American singer, songwriter, and occasional actress. In 2002, she came to prominence after winning the first season of American Idol, and has since been established as “The Original American Idol”. Her debut single, “A Moment Like This”, topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and broke the record for the biggest jump to number one in the chart’s history.

Her first album, Thankful included the top ten single “Miss Independent”, which earned her first Grammy nomination. Her second album Breakaway produced the hit single “Since U Been Gone” which reached number two on the Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the RIAA.

Clarkson went in a different direction with her self-creatively-controlled third album, My December. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and produced the top-ten single “Never Again.” Her fourth album, All I Ever Wanted debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Lead single “My Life Would Suck Without You” re-broke the record for biggest jump to number one on the Hot 100, jumping 97-1 in its second week on the chart. The record still stands today.
