i wish to say goodbye in the best way that i know
so i'll sit silently and watch you go
and i'll turn to someone to forget your name
as you turn to someone to amplify your glory and fame
i'll watch from the sidelines as you get everything you want
and i'll ignore the memories that come back to haunt
i'll ignore that late september drive
and that cold december night when you reminded me how it felt to be alive
i'll watch as you chase down some absurd time
because that's the only thing you have in mind
and through the weeks i'll forget your name
and you'll be lost in all your fame
so this is my goodbye
i wish you good luck as the years go by
and as you disappear from the corner of my eye
