Secret Goldfish Lyrics
I can't close my eyes
I can't shut my eyes to you
I can't close my eyes
I won't shed a tear for you this time
No matter how hard I try
To break all the ties
But heartbreak is forever
Land of the lost
I found myself in nothing
This time
Promises broken find me
Clutching to you for something
Something that you're not
Believing, believing in what you say
Makes me lie awake at night
The truth, the truth is not what scares me
It's why you have to lie
All the time
I can't close my eyes
I can't shut my eyes to you
I can't close my eyes
I won't shed a tear for you
I can't close my eyes
I can't shut my eyes to you
I can't close my eyes
I won't shed a tear
Heartbreak is forever
I found myself with nothing to believe in
This time
Promises broken find me
Clutching to you for something
All the time
I can't close my eyes
I can't shut my eyes to you
I can't close my eyes
I won't shed a tear for you
I can't close my eyes
I can't shut my eyes to you
I can't close my eyes
I won't shed a tear
Not this time
‘Cause heartbreak is forever (not this time)
Heartbreak is forever
Heartbreak is forever (not this time)
And heartbreak is forever
And heartbreak is forever
Nothing lasts forever
I can't shut my eyes to you
I can't close my eyes
I won't shed a tear for you this time
To break all the ties
But heartbreak is forever
Land of the lost
I found myself in nothing
This time
Promises broken find me
Clutching to you for something
Something that you're not
Makes me lie awake at night
The truth, the truth is not what scares me
It's why you have to lie
All the time
I can't shut my eyes to you
I can't close my eyes
I won't shed a tear for you
I can't close my eyes
I can't shut my eyes to you
I can't close my eyes
I won't shed a tear
I found myself with nothing to believe in
This time
Promises broken find me
Clutching to you for something
All the time
I can't shut my eyes to you
I can't close my eyes
I won't shed a tear for you
I can't close my eyes
I can't shut my eyes to you
I can't close my eyes
I won't shed a tear
Not this time
Heartbreak is forever
Heartbreak is forever (not this time)
And heartbreak is forever
And heartbreak is forever
Nothing lasts forever

Pencey prep are amazing. i miss them!
Now, I have a question. Is this the other version?
Because I know for a fact that the version on the cd has more lyrics to the beginning ang a bit throughout the song.
Its a great song nonetheless.
First off, I find the title of the song hilarious. Its from "The Catcher In The Rye". On the very first page as a matter of fact.
Its supposed to be the title of the collection of short stories Holden's brother writes.
Convienently titled, "The Secret Goldfish"
What more could you expect from a band that titles themselves from the school in the book?
Anyway, its a great song. With a lot of emotion you can feel.
I think it sort of portrays exactly how heartbreak is. You kind of never really get over it. At least, you probably don't if you truly loved this person.
Heartbreak goes on, because your either constantly thinking about them, or (if you have found someone else) you still sort of wonder to yourself about them.
General things like that.
Beautifuly written song with amazing lyrics.
This wasn't a different version, it's just that the full set of lyrics weren't posted, only some. All fixed now! (:

In the song hes saying how he's lost someone he's loved. and he feels that hes living in the 'land of the lost' and there were some broken promises and lies in the relationship. and at night he can't sleep because all he's thinking about is her but he refuses to shed a tear for her because even if he loves her, he knows it was not meant to be. but he knows heartbreak will last forever but nothing does last forever.
love this song he won't be weak but he'll be strong and get over this girl and HE'S BEEN LIED TO BY THIS GIRL AND NOW HE VAN NEVER TRUST HER AgAIN
This song kind of annoys me. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but the album version is kind of annoying. I like the acoustic version heaps better. One thing I do like about the album version is how Ten Rings fades into it.
i just bought the catcher in the rye today, it's really good i can't put it down. and that is saying something, because i'm extremely a.d.d. when it comes to reading.
