Just a terminal case like a fish on a hook im baited
youre welcome inside my armies are marching i cant save you
who could save you
i can see that from your wounds youre open wide
its coming clear now that youre leaving
you forgot the people that youve left behind

this is the long long goodbye
try to keep smiling as these tears break from my eyes
this is the way i used to feel
guess ill be trading down for something much more real
much more real

caught in a terrible wind with a kick in your teeth
you blew me in anime eyes youve never been quite
sure what your losing but you know youre losing
so ill burn these bridges from the other side
and in the end its all illusion
you forgot the people youve left behind

this is the long long goodbye
try to keep smiling as these tears break from my eyes
this is the way i used to feel
guess ill be trading down for something much more real
much more real

never been quite sure what youre losing but you know youre losing
i can see that from your wounds youre open wide
its coming clear now that im leaving
i forgot the lover that i left behind

this is the long long goodbye
try to keep smiling as these tears break from my eyes
this is the way i used to feel
guess ill be trading down for something much more real
guess ill be trading down for something much more real
much more real
