Goodbye

She is yelling on the phone
She is yelling on the phone again
And she is banging on the door
She is losing all control again
What's she doing in the tub?
She's shooting up the junk again
And all the water in the stream
Couldn't ever wash it clean, in my head
And I'm leaving

Demon with the needles leaning over your shoulder
It's over
I pictured this differently
I cast us in perfect light
I'd trade an eternity

For what's been taken away
Feels like
The future for you and me
(All night) fades in the failing light
(This time) you drowned us in misery
(That's why) now you forced me to say

Goodbye, my love, so long, you've thrown us away

It's been going on for months
Said she'd only done it once with friends
I couldn't keep her clean at all
Every dealer that she called was a friend
Believe it

The demon with the needles leaning over your shoulder
It's over
I pictured this differently
I cast us in perfect light
I'd trade an eternity

For what's been taken away
Feels like
The future for you and me
(All night) fades in the failing light
(This time) you drowned us in misery
(That's why) now you forced me to say

Goodbye, my love, so long, you've thrown us away
Goodbye, my love, so long, you've thrown us away

I remember how it was back when we were both in love again
Made-up memories
They were few and far between, no, it wasn't meant to be from then

Been stuck inside a dream, woke up, and I could breathe the air
Been down this road before, I'll make it on my own, I swear

Feels like
I pictured this differently
(Our lives) I cast us in perfect light
(This time)
I'd trade an eternity
(That's why) you fucking forced me to say

Goodbye (I'm saving her) my love (I wave to her)
So long, you've thrown us away
Goodbye (I'm saving her)
My love (I wave to her), so long, you've thrown us away
