Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Goodbye, Evergreen
You know I love you
But everything heaven-sent
Must burn out in the end
I promised you
Just as you were in my dream
Now let me off easy
And I'll slip down through the drain
To release my scattered brain
My enemy
[Verse 2]
Something just isn't right
I cut from the inside
I'm frightened of the end
I'm drowning in my self-defense
Now punish me
Think of me as what you will
I grow like a cancer
I'm pressed out in the rain
Deliver me from the poisoned pain
[Chorus]
Goodbye, Evergreen
Goodbye, Evergreen
Goodbye, Evergreen
Goodbye, Evergreen
You know I love
You know I love you
You know I love you
Goodbye, Evergreen
Goodbye, Evergreen
Goodbye, Evergreen
You know I love
You know I love you
You know I love you
Goodbye, Evergreen
Goodbye, Evergreen
You know I love
You know I love you
You know I love you
Goodbye, Evergreen
Goodbye, Evergreen
You know I love
You know I love you
You know I love you
Goodbye, Evergreen
Goodbye, Evergreen
Goodbye, Evergreen
You know I love you
[Outro]
You know I love you
You know I love you
You know I love
