dying isn’t that bad of an option
when your saviour locks you in his basement
and he says "hey, keeping you alive ain’t that cheap of a plan"
so hard when the hand that feeds ain’t got a brain

goodbye, so long
it’s never gonna work
just cuz you tried so long
can’t mean it’s gonna work
if you apply too long
the skin is gonna melt
please don’t cling on for too long
it’s embarrassing

yes, i will take my old plans
and i will go back in time
and if i catch myself there
i’m gonna beat myself up
and when you’re falling, i’m falling
a one-way trip to the ground
i’m living at the edge here
but i think i would die if i tried

excuses are repeats on a sunday
you heard them a thousand times but yet you cannot look away
my mind’s a blur when there are calendars in sight
oh the light goes dim, see you next time

goodbye, so long
it’s never gonna work
just cuz you tried so long
can’t mean it’s gonna work
if you apply too long
the skin is gonna melt
please don’t cling on for too long
you’re never gonna work it out

never gonna work it out
somewhere in my heart it’s fucked
never gonna work it out

yes, i will take my old plans
and i will go back in time
and if i catch myself there
i’m gonna beat myself up
and when you’re falling i’m falling
a one-way trip to the ground
i’m living at the edge here
but i think i would die if i tried
(and, god, do i try)

i would try
i would die
i would lie
i wouldn’t mind

yeah you have tried too long
it’s never gonna work
and yet you tried too long
it’s never gonna work
