Goodbye Was Always Your Favorite Word
To Be Juliet's Secret Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

[Verse one:]
I've searched this shoreline to see if you still care or wear my heart on your sleeve
I've been waiting here hoping you'll come back home to carry me away to where we used to be
But if your heart doesn't fall my way please know I wanted you to stay it's lonely on my own

[Chorus:]
So take your take your time with me
And kill me slowly (x2)

Just kill me slowly

[Verse two:]
I thought that you would never leave me
You made our love feel so real, but that was then and where are you now, it's just me and this shorline you've sailed so far away

You stole my heart and I can't shake that you said I was just your worst mistake
Your worst mistake
These scars I wear cause you didn't care

[Chorus]





I've searched the shorline to see if you still care or wear my heart on your sleeve I've been waiting here hoping you'll come back home to carry me away to whee we used to be, but if your heart doesn't fall my way please know I wanted you to stay, to stay here with me
But if your hart doesn't fall my way please know I wanted you to stay, it's lonely on your own
