I wanted this i wanted you
I wanted it to last but you fell through
Now east coast boys don't you see
That here on the west we follow our dreams

I don't wanna know you anymore
The color of your lips are red
And I swear I never wear lipstick
And oh my god I drank too much
Laughing while I'm crying
Don't you let 'em know you're dying, dying
Dying to break out
Dying to get, get, get out
Through the window of the upstairs
Click my heels but I am stuck here
I'm pledging this vow this is the last time
This is the last fight sunsets to sunrise
Morning to midnight and this is my goodbye
So blow out the candle the bottle is dry
And these pages learn to think
You're not even worth my black ink revenge
I guarantee, guarantee you'll miss me

I can't stomach this
I think I'm going to be sick
My heart's made of wick and you
Put the fire out of it with the kerosene
Chalked my feet
She smiled at me and closed the door
But not to sleep

This isn't making any sense
I was yours the night before this
The smell of your sheets is
The remnants of it

This is the last time this is the last fight
Sunsets to sunrise morning to midnight
And this is my goodbye
So blow out the candle the bottle is dry
And these pages learn to think
You're not even worth my black ink revenge
So I'm writing you out of my dreams
And you'll miss me I swear when I leave
Yeah I'm writing you out i'm crossing my T's
And I want back the necklace that
I said you could keep
And you miscomprehend and I
Scorn you till death
My words are as strong as
My last gasp for breath leave nothing behind
Not a trace or a crumb
And no clues to unlock how painful this was
So I'm writing you out of my dreams
And you'll miss me I swear when I leave

This is the last time this is the last fight
Sunsets to sunrise morning to midnight
And this is my goodbye
So blow out the candle the bottle is dry
And these pages learn to think
You're not even worth my

    Actually, this song was NOT written as a copy of My Goodbye. Juliet Simms originally wrote this song after she found out her boyfriend had been cheating on her in the next room while on tour. She was heartbroken and wrote what she had been feeling in the other room and how hurt she was. She showed it to her producers and they didn't feel that it was upbeat enough...they wanted Automatic Loveletter to create a more upbeat tune. She worked for four/five days in her room to recreate a song (My Goodbye) in order for it to be put on the album. They let that pass since it was more upbeat. Since then she has been put on a different record label who let her use her original song Black Ink Revenge on their new album The Kids Will Take Their Monsters On. It has nothing to do with copying My Goodbye...

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
