Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All my life I read between the lines
Head on too tight, you know I try
But in the end it left me paralysed
It's alright, goodbye, goodbye
[Verse 2]
Seems like yesterday I was a child
Just a ripple in the folds of time
I wish you well, I wanna see you smile
It's alright, goodbye
Goodbye
[Verse 3]
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I won't cry, I won't cry, I won't cry
Lord knows how hard we try
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Verse 4]
So many things I wanna say to you
So many sleepless nights I prayed for you
My hearts an ashtray and I lost my mind
You bring the smokes, I've got the time
[Verse 5]
I wanna scream, I wanna laugh, I wanna close my eyes
I wanna hide somewhere that's hard to find
Stop wasting time trying to shape your life
It's alright, goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
[Verse 6]
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I won't cry, I won't cry, I won't cry
Lord knows how hard we try
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Verse 7]
A pretty bird, my favorite lullaby
How'd I become the thorn in your side?
All you left had turned into a cry
It's alright, goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
[Verse 8]
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I won't cry, I won't cry, I won't cry
Lord knows how hard we try
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
