Goodbye I'm Gone

My watch says 11:27am

sittin' in the subway station, heartbeat racin'

I'm waitin' on the day to begin

she's half an hour late now, I'm 'bout to have a breakdown

I've stopped tryin' to make any of it make sense

I've relived the conversations, and lost my patience

(say it all in code)

and I'll sleep in the basement

(a bitter mystery)

I read her sentence and mine all in the same line

(when you wake up, only you could know)

(when you wake up, that only I could see)

The letter she left was one line long

goodbye forever I'm gone

it was sittin' on a table in a room

(you loved me, I swore I love you)

in a red brick box that we used to call our home

the letter she left was one line long

goodbye forever I'm gone

it was sittin' on a table in a room

in a red brick box that we used to call our home

You saved me, but I can't save you

You loved me, and I swore I loved you

And we'll pretend our quiet fate remains unknown

This will end without a sound when I go.

And on the plains of Antarctica

we built a tiny house to keep ourselves out of the cold

from the start when your eyes were bright

it is the only place that I ever could call a home

you froze to death on December 10th

it was a couple days before the rescue planes would come

I married you on our wedding day

with the shards in my heart, and said goodbye forever I'm gone

The letter she left was one line long

(save me, come save me)

goodbye forever I'm gone

it was sittin' on a table in a room

in a red brick box that we used to call our home

the letter she left was one line long

goodbye forever I'm gone

it was sittin' on a table in a room

in a red brick box that we used to call our home

Make the truth a lie

I'll keep your secrets safe

hidden in my smile

lonely in my grave
