This Goodbye To You
By
Candlebox & Robby Richardson
“You...it’s for you”
This goodbye…goodbye to you...it’s for you...and only you
“I’ll never know, I’ll never care”
“I’ll never believe my people”
“I’ll tell you what I say”
“I’ll never lie, I’ll never try”
Never touch the sky, never fly
Only low, never high the answer is why
Time...you’re no foe of mine but you punish life like a crime
“As you lonely people keep on running round my door”
As you zombie people keep obeying...more control
As you soulless people keep on judging...so unwhole
“Keep on begging”
You keep me begging
“Beg for more”
Wash ashore my soul that feeling of feeling more
“And I’ll cry for you”
“Yes, I’ll die for you”
“Pain in my heart is real”
Pain in my soul is real
Pain in my being from what I’ve been seeing
And like air in my lungs, no warmth from my sun
Darkening my sky up above
“And I’ll tell you now how I feel inside”
“This feeling in my heart is for you”
Is this break in my heart break for you
“And I’ll tell you now how I feel inside”
Will this pain I succumb to be for you
“I’ll never try...I’ll never die”
“I’ll never push for you people”
“I’ll tell you how I feel”
Failure in the pain I ignore
So will I fail for you, do jail for you
As you soulless people keep on judging...you judge my way
“As you lonely people” keep on judging...I’ll still go my own way
I’ll never free fall down the hole
I’ll never feel the love in my soul
With your loss I feel I’m losing control
And in your absence I can’t get past this
This habit for chasing rabbits is for you
“Only you”
This time there’s no hello in this good bye I break alone
“Is this blood on my hands all for you”
“It’s for you”
On my own...I have you...only you
So this good bye is for you...only you
You consume my whole, such a grip on my soul, the shudder of our let go
As we gaze at the abyss, that lay before darkness, does it “blanket your soul out of mind”
They can’t understand what we have they could never understand
Wanting the shell of the man that I am
Keeps chasing you “higher and higher all through time”
“Yes, I feel it”...Yes, I feel you
“Feelin fine”...All the time
Gambling temptation is such a fleeting sensation
A feeling so true in the pain
And this pain in my good bye is all for you
I’ve climbed too far to have me fall
That this pain in my heart will always remind me of you
But your end is just pretend will my demons win out in the end
But grips can slip, will I reach out my hand when you fall
“FUCK YOU”
“I don’t want it no more”
“And it’s mine”...This good bye from my heart is for you
“I don’t want it no more”
No, I can’t go on anymore
“I don’t want it no more”
I can’t do it no more
“I don’t want it no more”
I’m not strong enough all alone
“I don’t want it no more”
Alone on this road on my own
This life is all I’ve ever known
“And it’s mine on my own”
“Yes, it’s mine all alone”
“As I cry for you, yes I’ll die for you”
“Pain in my heart, it is real and I’ll tell you now how I feel inside”
This goodbye in my heart is for you
“And I’ll take everything as it comes my way”
Chasing those sunset memories everyday
Yes, I would die for you lay straight down for you
Not prepared for our final farewell, a night clear is my nightmare
So will I cry for you, straight lie for you
To find you and that hold I’d straight die for you
So this goodbye is all that I can give to you
So “FUCK YOU”
“It’s for you”...This good bye to you
The End
