lyrics

Goodbye my life
I won’t see you again forever
And if I do, it won’t be the same
‘Cause we’ll both have changed for the better
Or for the worst
But either way
We won’t know who we are all the same

Haven’t talked to you in a while, which I regret
Do you even know my name anymore, or do you forget?
I know it’s hard for you to say what’s on your mind
I don’t know yours either

Been alone in my mind for a pretty long time
Just tryin’ to figure out if everything’s fine
Haven’t done a good job though, ‘cause I don’t know

I don’t know if I can hold on
Even though I’ve been told a thousand times that I can
But if you call a spade a club, it doesn’t mean it makes a flush
If all you’ve got are diamonds in the rough
Alchemical chemistry changing coal to flame
Igniting the fuel before it gets a chance to shine
Do you really need to shine a light through
In order to assess the true value?
Or can you tell in the dark, while they’re lying by your side?

Haven’t talked to you in a while, which I regret
Do you even know my name anymore, or do you forget?
I know it’s hard for you to say what’s on your mind
I don’t know yours either

Been alone in my mind for a pretty long time
Just tryin’ to figure out if everything’s fine
Haven’t done a good job though, ‘cause I don’t know

Would you forgive me if I told you
That I’ve wanted to run away a thousand times?
Would you forgive me if I told you
That I’ve gone around and started committing crimes?
To keep my mind occupied on something other than these silly lies But you don’t really give a fuck, do you?
You just wanna hear me say that I love you
Would you forgive me? Oh, forgive me.

Haven’t talked to you in a while, which I regret
Do you even know my name anymore, or do you forget?
I know it’s hard for you to say what’s on your mind
I don’t know yours either

I don’t know you
You don’t know me
Let’s just call it even
