Goodbye

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.

And I'm leaving
(Demon with the needle's leaning over your shoulder)
It's over.

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.

Goodbye, my love
So long
(You've thrown us away)

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.

Believe it
(Demon with the needle's leaning over your shoulder)
It's over.

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.

Goodbye, my love
So long
(You've thrown us away)

Goodbye, my love
So long
(You've thrown us away)

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...

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.

(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.

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)
