Goodbye Old Friend Lyrics

Ah,
Ah,
Ah,

I need you, and I want you
'cause I know you from before
I hate you, and I fear you
but I hold open the door

I see you, and you see me
and we know what knows be done
So we draw knives, and lock eyes
'cause it does no good to run

Goodbye old friend
Farewell, it seems
We'll dance again in my dreams

I've missed you, you know that's true
And I've re-traced every scar
My head sings, and the steel rings
'Cause we've traveled oh so far

And I chased you, to embrace you
Like the Sun chases the Moon
I burn you, you burn me,
But I know I'll see you soon

I've watched you, I've seen you
I've known that you were there
and I've held you, and you loved me,
but our lives cannot be spared

I trust you, and despise you,
shadowed your every move
Scorned you, and warned you,
Befriended everyone you've used...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Having done the 'amicable divorce' thing, this song sure covers the spectrum of emotions. Absolute loathing and intolerance for the ex, remembering that it wasn't always bad, and squashing all the emotional conflict to just keep things civil.
