Lyrics
Claire Said
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.
Claire said: Take care of yourself, she says
As she drove a nail into my head
I want everything and more, so much more
But for the moment I'll ignore the gore
And whatever happens on the way today
It don't matter cause I'll still get paid
And there's no need for me to cry
I just have to say goodbye
It was all lie and now what she says today
Some folks have all the luck, they just fade away
So I'll beat my head against the wall
And live in the hope that there's no second fall
And there's no need for me to cry
I'll just have to say goodbye
Old man winter all a-flame, insane
Oh well, what the hell, at least we came
Now I've nothing to do but burn, my turn
And watch as the neighbors all have too much fun
And there's no need to even try
I just have to say goodbye
I just have to say goodbye
