Lyrics
The Parting
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
"Yesterday
After months of fruitless
Arguments with the father
The mother finally takes action."
And so it ends
It’s time to let go
My spirit is crushed
Forsaken and cold
I’m leaving you
No tears left to cry
You’ll never change
I’ve made up my mind
This is goodbye
So this is the end
How can I go on?
My dream’s unfulfilled
And now I’m alone
I let them down
I pushed them away
No reason to live
I’m ending this pain
There’s no other way
Only one thing left to do
