Word Forward
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.
Good bye Jimmy, farewell youth
I must be on my way I've had enough of you
Was a young man, proud and true
Just a simple boy with nothing left to lose
Years that I've wasted
These I owe you's
They're just fucking words
This is life or death
It's time to clear the air
You better save your breath
Say have you heard
Say have you heard
The poison in my heart
And voices in my head;
Years that I've wasted
These I owe you's
I meant every word for word for word forward
Word for word for word forward
Word for word for word forward
Word for word for word forward
But it's only words
I meant every word
They're just fucking words
Word for word; for word forward
Word for word; for word forward
Word for word; for word forward
Word for word; for word forward
Word for word; for word forward
