Goodbye
Parkwood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As they took pictures and lingered for minutes that seemed like hours
And from the top of my city's highest points I looked down upon these towers
And wondered if I jumped if I'd end up with you buried beneath dead flowers
Because I haven't come and visited seen or been since the funeral
Because reluctance is my human fault I keep these feelings locked up in this vault
Because everyday I grow more cold
Everyday I grow more cold
And if you ask me, I am in no way sold on the idea
That there are ghosts and there are souls
But one day I'll die and maybe I'll know
But until then I'll love what's close to home
That is my friends, that is my home
Goodbye,
My selfish lover
Refuse me, abuse me
I'm not sorry for moving on
I'm moving on from you
And I wished you well, you said goodbye
We're just a moment
A moment in time
I've got the taste of your bad love now
And it lingers on my tongue
I'm not sorry for moving on
I'm moving on from you
And I wished you well
And you said goodbye

I'm moving on from you
And I wished you well
And you said goodbye
I'm not looking back, and though it hurts to say goodbye, I know it's for the best.
