This Isn'T Goodnight
I’ll be sure to make this loud and clear
I don’t need any confusion on your part
It’ll be hard for me to be so confused
When I know what I need to do
I’m not calling to say goodnight boy
I’m calling to say goodbye
A final kiss goodbye
Before I bury our love
In the graveyard of my heart
You left me breathless for far too long
I’d like to start breathing again
It’s awfully difficult to breathe
When you’ve got your cupid’s chokehold on my neck
You drain the love from my eyes
You suck the blood from my veins
You bleach the color from my world
And that’s where I draw the line
This isn’t goodnight, sweetheart
This is goodbye
And not just goodbye for now
But goodbye forever
I promise you I won’t write
I’ll make sure not to call
I want you to die of anticipation
And of a pathetically broken heart
