Lyrics

My Goodbye

Look at the time, its way past nine
And I'm here singing this song
See you in the hallways
Wont even look at my face
I should have known

You were my everything and all
Never thought that you would just let me fall
Still your picture's by my bed
Cant get your face out of my head

This is all just a dream
The pain of this is killing me
And I need to know
The little voice in my head
Screaming this is the end
Oh no
And it makes me wonder why
You never even tried
To tell me your goodbye

Well here's the next line
And it's alright I'm fine
I'm already losing my grip
Tore me to pieces
And my cover creases
and I'm bleeding this

You were my everything and all
Never thought you would just let me fall
Still your picture's by my bed
Cant get your face out of my head

This is all just a dream
The pain of this is killing me
And I need to know
The little voice in my head
Screaming this is the end
Oh no
And it makes me wonder why
You never even tried
To tell me your goodbye

Now I'm walkin on broken glass
Sick and tired of bustin' my ass
For you
Feelings change, kinda strange
Now I'm feelin' somethin', somethin' new

This is all just a dream
The pain of this isn't killing me
And I don't to know
The little voice in my head
Aint screaming anything now
Oh no
And it makes you wonder why
I dont even try
To tell you my goodbye
