Goodbye Forever
My Brightest Diamond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, to love
By fire, by flame
This old feeling
Insignificance
Insignificance

Then I can hear you
Brighter than the stars
Your voice is a razor blade

I can see you shining through the sun
You're so mysterious

Lose the hold
As I throw this
With a goodbye forever
Fear of exposure
Fear of exposure

Then I can hear you
Brighter than the stars
Your touch is lightening

I can feel you
Prickling like a thousand shark teeth
Prickling like a thousand shark teeth
Closer to me

Come closer to me
Come closer to me
Come closer to me




Come closer to me
Still
