Goodbye To The Girl
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.
Paint another picture black and blue
Take another moment one or two
Just to get over you
When did all the gold around us rust
Turning all the love we had to dust
It took the best of you
It took the best of you
Oh, I've got nowhere to hide
Say my goodbye to the girl
I'm leaning on the edge
Of jumping off the ledge
Take another picture off the wall
Just another moment watch it fall
Into the ocean blue
Take a look at where we used to be
Now I'm just a vessel lost at sea
I can't get over you
I don't know what to do
Oh, I've got nowhere to hide
Say my goodbye to the girl
I'm leaning on the edge
Of jumping off the ledge
And watching the night do what the light never could
So tell me I'm crazy
It's not gonna save me
From holding my breath
Tell the lies because
I've got nowhere to hide
Say my goodbye to the girl
Oh, goodbye to the girl
Paint another picture black and blue
Take another moment one or two
Oh, I've got nowhere to hide
Say my goodbye to the girl
I'm leaning on the edge
Of jumping off the ledge
And watching the night do what the light never could
So tell me I'm crazy
It's not gonna save me
From holding my breath
Tell the lies because
I've got nowhere to hide
Say my goodbye to the girl
And goodbye to the world
Oh, goodbye to the world
