Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's true, you sold your guitar and bought a car?
It's true, I'm leaving now for Santa Fe
It's true you're with this yuppie scum?
You said you'd never speak to him again
Not now
[Verse 2]
Who said that you have any say in who she says things to at all?
Yeah
Who said that you should stick your nose in other people's-
Who said I was talking to you?
[Verse 3]
We used to have this fight each night (Calm down)
She'd never admit I existed (Everyone, please)
He was the same way, he was always, "Run away
Hit the road, don't commit, you're full of shit" (Mimi!)
She's in denial
He's in denial
Didn't give an inch when I gave a mile (I gave a mile)
Gave a mile to who?
Come on, guys, chill
[Verse 4]
I'd be happy to die for a taste of what Angel had
Someone to live for, unafraid to say, "I love you"
All your words are nice, Mimi
But love's not a three-way street
You'll never share in love until you love yourself
I should know
[Verse 5]
You all said you'd be cool today
So please, for my sake
[Verse 6]
I can't believe he's gone
I can't believe you're going
I can't believe this family must die
Angel helped us believe in love
I can't believe you disagree
I can't believe this is goodbye
[Verse 7]
I hear there are great restaurants out West
Some of the best, how could she?
How could you let her go?
You just don't know
[Verse 8]
How could we lose Angel?
Maybe you'll see why when you stop escaping your pain
At least now if you try, Angel's death won't be in vain
His death is in vain
[Verse 9]
Are you insane?
There's so much to care about, there's me, there's Mimi
Mimi's got her baggage, too
So do you
[Verse 10]
Who are you to tell me what I know?
What to do?
A friend
But who, Mark, are you?
[Verse 11]
Mark has got his work, they say, Mark lives for his work
And Mark's in love with his work
Mark hides in his work
From what?
From facing your failure
Facing your loneliness
Facing the fact you live a lie
Yes, you live a lie
Tell you why
[Verse 12]
You're always preaching not to be numb
When that's how you thrive
You pretend to create and observe
When you really detach from feeling alive
Perhaps it's because I'm the one of us to survive
Poor baby
[Verse 13]
Mimi still loves you
Are you really jealous, or afraid that Mimi's weak?
Mimi did look pale
Mimi's gotten thin
Mimi's running out of time
And you're running out the door
No more, I've gotta go
[Verse 14]
Hey, for someone who has always been let down
Who's heading outta town?
For someone who longs for a community of his own
Who's with his camera, alone?
I'll call
I hate the fall
[Verse 15]
You heard?
Every word
[Chorus]
You don't want baggage without lifetime guarantees
You don't want to watch me die
I just came to say goodbye, love
Goodbye, love
Came to say goodbye, love
Goodbye
[Chorus]
Just came to say goodbye, love (Glory)
Goodbye, love (One blaze of glory)
Goodbye, love, goodbye (I have to find)
[Verse 16]
Please don't touch me, understand
I'm scared, I need to go away
I know a place, a clinic
A rehab?
Maybe, could you?
I'll pay
[Chorus]
Goodbye, love
Goodbye, love
Came to say goodbye, love
Goodbye
Just came to say goodbye, love
Goodbye, love
Goodbye, love
Hello, disease
