Goodbye

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She's yelling on the phone She's yelling on the phone again And she's banging on the door She's losing all control again What's she doing in the tub? She's shooting up the junk again And all the water in the stream Couldn't ever wash her clean in my head [Pre-Chorus] And I'm leaving (Demon with the needle's leaning over your shoulder) It's over [Chorus] I pictured this differently I cast us in perfect light I'd trade an eternity For what's been taken away (Feels like) The future for you and me (Our love) Fades in the failing light (This time) You drowned us in misery (That's why) Now you've forced me to say [Post-Chorus] Goodbye, my love, so long You've thrown us away [Verse 2] It's been going on for months Said she'd only done it once with friends I couldn't keep her clean at all Every dealer that she called was a friend [Pre-Chorus] Believe it (Demon with the needle's leaning over your shoulder) It's over [Chorus] I pictured this differently I cast us in perfect light I'd trade an eternity For what's been taken away (Feels like) The future for you and me (Our love) Fades in the failing light (This time) You drowned us in misery (That's why) Now you've forced me to say [Post-Chorus] Goodbye, my love, so long You've thrown us away Goodbye, my love, so long You've thrown us away [Bridge] I remember how it worked Back when we were both in love again Made-up memories They were few and far between No, it wasn't meant to be From then... [Verse 3] Been stuck inside a dream Woke up and I could breathe the air Been down this road before I'll make it on my own, I swear [Chorus] (Feels like) I pictured this differently (Our lives) I cast us in perfect light (This time) I'd trade an eternity (That's why) You fucking forced me to say [Post-Chorus] Goodbye (I'm saving her) My love (I wave to her) So long (You've thrown us away) Goodbye (I'm saving her) My love (I wave to her) So long (You've thrown us away)
