A GOOD GOODBYE

I wasted my youth on a life without truth I'm just as fake as my promises A slight tinge of blue in a mind that's old news I used to be such an optimist I bleed in the bathroom sink as I spiral down In dark drinks, that'll come right out I'm afraid of what you might think If you saw me now But something 'bout the bitter seems sweet And maybe rock bottom's too deep I'm no good at climbing So, I've been fantasizing If this is just the person I was Then I would disappoint you just one more time I'll take the easy ride A one-way to piece of mind But it's not a good goodbye Bitten and took or The Boy Who Cried Wolf I think the second is sorriest A page from your book is a line that won't hook I'll grit my teeth and get on with it I picture my stained-glass seat as you file down And pay dues to my pinewood house I can see that the pain won't leave If I do right now, it's passed around But something 'bout the bitter seems sweet (ooh) And maybe rock bottom's too deep (ooh) I'm no good at climbing So, I've been fantasizing If this is just the person I was (person I was) Then I would disappoint you just one more time (ah) I take the easy ride A one-way to piece of mind But it's not a good goodbye It's not a good goodbye If this is just the person I was Then I would disappoint you just one more time I'll take the easy ride And say goodbye But It's not a good goodbye
