Goodbye Lyrics
shes yelling on the phone
shes yelling on the phone again
shes banging on the door
shes losing all control again
what she doing in the tub
shes shooting up the junk again
and all the water in the stream
couldnt ever wash her clean
in my head
and im leaving
dealing with the needles looking over your shoulder
its over
i pictured this diffrently
i cast us in perfect light
id trade an eternity
for whats been taking away
the future for you and me
fades in the failing light
you drowned us in misery
and now you forced me to say
goodbye, my love
so long
youve thrown us away
its been going on for months
said shes only done it once
with friends
i couldnt keep her clean at all
every dealer that she called
was a friend
be leaving
dealing with the needles looking over your shoulder
its over
i pictured this diffrently
i cast us in perfect light
id trade an eternity
for whats been taking away
the future for you and me
fades in the failing light
you drowned us in misery
and now you forced me to say
goodbye, my love
so long
youve thrown us away
goodbye, my love
so long
youve thrown us away
i remember how it was
back when we were both in love
again
made up memories
you say we're few and far between
but it wasnt meant to be
for me
been stuck inside a dream
woke up and i could breathe the air
been down this road before
ill make it on my own i swear
i pictured this diffrently
i cast us in perfect light
id trade an eternity
you fucking forced me to say
goodbye, my love
so long
youve thrown us away
goodbye
my love, so long
youve thrown us away
shes yelling on the phone again
shes banging on the door
shes losing all control again
what she doing in the tub
shes shooting up the junk again
and all the water in the stream
couldnt ever wash her clean
in my head
dealing with the needles looking over your shoulder
its over
i pictured this diffrently
i cast us in perfect light
id trade an eternity
for whats been taking away
the future for you and me
fades in the failing light
you drowned us in misery
and now you forced me to say
goodbye, my love
so long
youve thrown us away
said shes only done it once
with friends
i couldnt keep her clean at all
every dealer that she called
was a friend
dealing with the needles looking over your shoulder
its over
i pictured this diffrently
i cast us in perfect light
id trade an eternity
for whats been taking away
the future for you and me
fades in the failing light
you drowned us in misery
and now you forced me to say
goodbye, my love
so long
youve thrown us away
goodbye, my love
so long
youve thrown us away
back when we were both in love
again
made up memories
you say we're few and far between
but it wasnt meant to be
for me
woke up and i could breathe the air
been down this road before
ill make it on my own i swear
i cast us in perfect light
id trade an eternity
you fucking forced me to say
goodbye, my love
so long
youve thrown us away
goodbye
my love, so long
youve thrown us away
i believe this is about a man's girlfriend who is a drug addict. he desperately wants her to become clean, but she wont, so he decides to move on.
I personally think this this song is about his girlfriend being a heroin addict.
"She's yelling on the phone, she's yelling on the phone again. And she's banging on the door; she's losing all control again" ^Violent need for the drug
"What's she's doing in the tub? She's shooting up the junk again." ^injecting heroin
"Demon with the needles leaning over your shoulder" ^her dealer controls her and her addictive need for the drug.
