Goodbye We're Falling Fast
Aiden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your pretty face, disguised in a veil of fear
Drips with tears a I gave you one last kiss before the fall
(Before the fall)
Hold my hand, you're so beautiful
Let's escape from this life and end it all
On three, we're jumping from this ledge
This building's tall, I'm sure we'll wake up dead
But I still love her

Say goodbye, say goodbye, yeah
We're falling fast
I'll live forever
Say goodbye, say goodbye, yeah
We'll make it last
I'll live forever
Say goodbye, say goodbye

A picture perfect attempt at, a quick and painless death
Came and meant something so much more than all the rest
(Than all the rest)
Hold my hand, don't forget to breathe
There's nothing left for you, there's nothing left to leave
On three, we're jumping from this ledge
This building's tall, I'm sure we'll wake up dead
But I still love her

Say goodbye, say goodbye, yeah
We're falling fast
I'll live forever
Say goodbye, say goodbye, yeah
We'll make it last
I'll live forever
Say goodbye, say goodbye, yeah
We're falling fast

With these moments we hold dear
And the seconds we have left
(I know you're here inside my heart)
With these moments we hold dear
And the seconds we have left
(I know you're here inside my heart)
I hold your hand with mine
In this picture perfect light
There's one last chance for us, tonight
I hold your hand with mine, now everything is fine
Now say goodbye, say goodbye tonight

Say goodbye, say goodbye, yeah
We're falling fast
I'll live forever
Say goodbye, say goodbye, yeah
We'll make it last
I'll live forever
Say goodbye, say goodbye, yeah
We're falling fast




I'll live forever
Say goodbye, say goodbye
