you didn’t destroy me
though you tried
i am a flame that doesn’t die
don’t mind the bridges i’ve burned that kept you by my side
i get this one life and i won’t give you mine
goodbye
goodbye
how dare you hurt me while holding my hand
that kind of love i’ll never understand
there is a difference between what we want and we need
and i’ve cried an ocean between you and me
you know i tried, i tried
goodbye
thought you were different but you held your aim
right at my heart i’m a sucker for pain
our family portraits and designer dreams
become so worthless when you’re not what you seem
you’re not what you seem
but you didn’t destroy me
though you tried
(you know you tried)
you’ll think about me
but in time you’ll slip my mind
you’re not the first one to cut me, you get no prize
i get this one life
goodbye
(you were always telling me how i made you a better man)
goodbye
(promises mean nothing when you don’t know how to listen)
goodbye
