You told me we'd be together forever;
you told me we'd meet on a bright, summer day.
All that we needed to get past was
the depression that lingered in our minds.

Now, baby, no.
Don't pull the trigger, yet.
Now, sweetie, no.
Don't light the bomb, yet.
There's things I need to say;
I need to get them out my mind...

So long and goodbye.
It's not like I expected you to stay.
None of my friends even like me;
I'm sorry I made you stay.
No, go, now. Please ignore me.
So I can pretend that this forever actually meant something.
So I can pretend that all our memories mean nothing.

So, I guess it's the end
of what I thought was gonna be forever.
So, listen up. Hear me well.
I still love you, anyway.

You were my inspirational god.
You were the reason I never committed.
All that I need to get past, now,
is the sadist thoughts that swim inside my brain.

Now, baby, no.
Don't set the gun off.
Now, sweetie, no.
Don't let me fade away.
There's things I need to say;
I need to scrape them off my tongue.

So long and goodbye.
It's not like I expected you to stay.
None of my friends even like me;
I'm sorry I made you stay.
No, go, now. Please ignore me.
So I can pretend that this forever actually meant something.
So I can pretend that all our memories mean nothing.

So, I guess it's the end
of what I thought was gonna be forever.
So, listen up. Hear me well.
I still love you, anyway.
