Goodbye

Well, the night was almost over
And the moon was swallowed into a lonely sky
I don't regret the things I told her
I'd do it all again

But seeing her cry
It made me hate the world around me
And curse at all the rest
And hope to die

I could see her heart was pounding
It was pounding in her chest
As we said goodbye

Goodbye, I'm sorry, but I've gotta go
Your life's not for me, I'm a star, you know
There's a rumour going 'round that I can't justify

Goodbye to the endless wondering
Of what the next day is going to bring
There's no room in your heart for a man such as I

I moved away the morning after
And I tried to be a star in a leading role
In the night I'd hear her laughter
I'd hear it from afar, from where I left my soul

Though I know it was the right thing
My life has been a blur since I made her cry
All my made up friends are fighting
I hope it's clear to her why I said goodbye

Goodbye, I'm sorry, but I've gotta go
Your life's not for me, I'm a star, you know
There's a rumour going 'round that I can't justify

Goodbye to the endless wondering
Of what the next day is going to bring
There's no room in your heart for a man such as I

I'm not cut out for this
This bickering and screaming
Defending myself against the dreams you've been dreaming
Oh, I'm a nice guy
Jesus Christ, I

Feel like you're teaming up to burn me alive
Burn me alive, burn me alive
Goodbye
Oh, goodbye
