Goodbye

All my life I read between the lines Held on too tight, you know I tried But in the end it left me paralyzed It's alright, goodbye, goodbye Seems like yesterday, I was a child Just a ripple in the folds of time I wish you well, I want to see you smile It's alright, goodbye Goodbye Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I won't cry, I won't cry, I won't cry Lord knows how hard we tried Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye So many things I want to say to you So many sleepless nights I prayed for you My heart's an ashtray and I lost my mind You bring the smokes, I've got the time I want to scream, I want to laugh, I want to close my eyes I want to hide somewhere that's hard to find Stop wasting time trying to shape your life It's alright, goodbye Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I won't cry, I won't cry, I won't cry Lord knows how hard we tried Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye My pretty bird, my favorite lullaby How'd I become the thorn in your side? All your laughter turned into a cry It's alright, goodbye Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I won't cry, I won't cry, I won't cry Lord knows how hard we tried It's alright, it's alright, it's alright It's alright, it's alright, it's alright Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye --- Goodbye - Cage the Elephant
