A GOOD GOODBYE Songtext
von Braden Bales

I wasted my youth on a life without truth
I′m just as fake as my promises
A slight tinge of blue in a mind that's old news
I used to be such an optimist

I bleed in the bathroom sink as I spiral down
In dark drinks, that′ll come right out
I'm afraid of what you might think
If you saw me now

But something 'bout the bitter seems sweet
And maybe rock bottom′s too deep
I′m no good at climbing
So, I've been fantasizing

If this is just the person I was
Then I would disappoint you just one more time
I′ll take the easy ride
A one-way to piece of mind

But it's not a good goodbye


Bitten and took or The Boy Who Cried Wolf
I think the second is sorriest
A page from your book is a line that won′t hook
I'll grit my teeth and get on with it

I picture my stained-glass seat as you file down
And pay dues to my pinewood house
I can see that the pain won′t leave
If I do right now, it's passed around

But something 'bout the bitter seems sweet (ooh)
And maybe rock bottom′s too deep (ooh)
I′m no good at climbing
So, I've been fantasizing

If this is just the person I was (person I was)
Then I would disappoint you just one more time (ah)
I take the easy ride
A one-way to piece of mind

But it′s not a good goodbye
It's not a good goodbye

If this is just the person I was
Then I would disappoint you just one more time
I′ll take the easy ride
And say goodbye

But It's not a good goodbye
