This Is Goodbye

Somebody told me that you’re happy That you’re moving right along That you’re planning for the future But I think they’ve got it wrong. You’ve got everyone thinking That you’re smitten and in love They think you’ve gotten really lucky Have everything that you’ve dreamed of… But I know better, don’t I? I can see it in your eyes I see your halfhearted smiles, I could spot them for miles And I can sense the subtle lies I know you better than the rest do But I can’t save you, I can’t rescue - You from your own disguise So I guess this is goodbye now Goodbye now Good…bye I heard she’s fond of metal’s sharpness That she’s carving both your ways But she’s cut more than herself She cut you and everyone else Who cared about you at one time And you just let her do it Let her twist her grips inside So I guess you’re guilty too You can’t hide the ugly truth So I guess this is goodbye So tell your lies But I know better, don’t I? I can see it in your eyes I see your halfhearted smiles, I could spot them for miles And I can sense the subtle lies I know you better than the rest do But I can’t save you, I can’t rescue - You from your own disguise So I guess this is goodbye now I guess this is goodbye now Good…bye
