The Goodbye Song

He woke up early
The wind howling neath the skin
He saw the walls all closing in
This is how it all begins
He felt the life go out once again
Just like a goodbye song
That goes on too long
And did it please her
Was it right and was I strong
Was it good and is good all wrong
Is good enough to light the grey zone
If I could spend just one night alone
I’d be myself I swear I’d get out of there
I’d do it once if I really cared
The light is out the thrill is gone
He felt the life go out once again
Just like a goodbye song
That goes on too long
And if I breathe it’ll all come to end
Just like a goodbye song that goes on too long
And if I breathe it’ll all come to end
Where has it gone, where has it gone
Where have I gone
So we’re no different
It won’t be branded on skin
You won’t feel nothing you won’t feel bad
Guess the first time is the hardest
It’s like a key that locks and locks
And I don’t like oh the place I’m in
It’s a place of whispers of shadows and lies
It’s the new world that I live in
I feel the life go out once again
Just like a goodbye song
That goes on too long
And if I breathe it’ll all come to end
Where have I gone
Where has it gone
And did it happen
It all seems so far behind
Can I do it just one more time
Only once and then it’s over
I can choose I got all the time
And when I see her man, will she understand
I can keep it in once again
Where have I gone
Where have I gone
I feel the life go out once again
Just like a goodbye song
That goes on too long
And if I breathe it’ll all come to end
Just like a goodbye song
That goes on too long
And if I breathe it’ll all come to end
Where have I gone
Where have I gone
Where has it gone
