Another Way To Say Goodbye
Anomia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Let's meet you there In that old fucking pub"
that's what you said at the phone this morning

"Don't be afraid I just wanna live my life"
you said ok but it was an another lie

well, I can't hear what you're telling, my
disease increase with your eyes on mine
I've no regrets for you being aside
was another way just to say goodbye
another way,

"See you again" You said the second time
I'm so upset I hope you're got the reason why

"You make me sick!" you said hangin' up line
I feel the rage that's flowing up my spine

well, I can't hear what you're telling, my
disease increase with your eyes on mine
I've no regrets for you being aside
it's another way just to say goodbye

another way

your knife is nothing I want more
your knife is nothing I want more




your knife is nothing I want more
your knife is nothing I want more
