The Last Goodbye
k.s. rhoads Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This my last good bye
I Cross my heart and I hope to die
Cause I'm already dead inside
And I can't feel no pain
I smoked it all away
And i gave my soul to the other side
You took my life and cursed it
Played me like you rehearsed it
And I know I'm not perfect
But tell me was it worth it
I knew your love was counterfeit
I lost something I never had
Now I'm feeling so powerless
But it's okay I'm done with it
I put this on my life
This my last good bye
I Cross my heart and I hope to die
Cause I'm already dead inside
And I can't feel no pain
I smoked it all away
And i gave my soul to the other side
There was no other way
I put this on my life
This my last good bye
I Cross my heart and I hope to die
Cause I'm already dead inside
Tears were shed
Down my face
It's okay , I'm okay
In my cave
Go away
Get out my face
Know your place
Ain't no way
Imma stay
I have no faith
Our love is hate
Medicate
I need drugs to medicate
And mediate
Cause I'm going
So insane
Look at your face
This was fate
I am at a higher place
Get out my way
I need space
I need time to elevate
Always knew your love was laced
Watch my soul just fade away
I'll meet you at the heaven gates (Cause)
I put this on my life
This my last good bye
I Cross my heart and I hope to die
Cause I'm already dead inside
And I can't feel no pain
I smoked it all away
And i gave my soul to the other side
There was no other way
I put this on life this my last goodbye
See you later (Savvy)

I put this on my life
I seriously mean what I am saying
This my last good bye
I am saying goodbye for good
I Cross my heart and I hope to die
I am being earnest by swearing on my heart
Cause I'm already dead inside
I feel nothing and have nothing left to give
And I can't feel no pain
I have numbed myself to feel no emotion
I smoked it all away
I turned to drugs to deal with my pain
And i gave my soul to the other side
I sacrificed my morals to cope with my pain
There was no other way
I had no other choice
You took my life and cursed it
You ruined my life
Played me like you rehearsed it
You planned to hurt me all along
And I know I'm not perfect
I acknowledge my flaws
But tell me was it worth it
Was hurting me worth it?
I knew your love was counterfeit
I realized that your love was fake
I lost something I never had
I never truly had your love
Now I'm feeling so powerless
I feel helpless
But it's okay I'm done with it
I am accepting that it's over
Tears were shed
I cried
Down my face
Tears were falling down my face
It's okay , I'm okay
I am okay now
In my cave
I am isolating myself from the world
Go away
Leave me alone
Get out my face
Stop talking to me
Know your place
You are not welcome here
Ain't no way
There is no possibility
Imma stay
I am leaving
I have no faith
I have lost belief
Our love is hate
Our love has turned to hate
Medicate
I am using medication to cope
I need drugs to medicate
I need drugs to help me cope
And mediate
I need to find balance
Cause I'm going
Because I am becoming
So insane
So unstable
Look at your face
You disgust me
This was fate
This was meant to happen
I am at a higher place
I have moved on
Get out my way
Don't stand in my path
I need space
I need time to heal
I need time to elevate
I need to focus on myself
Always knew your love was laced
I always knew your love was toxic
Watch my soul just fade away
I am losing hope
I'll meet you at the heaven gates
I have accepted my fate and am ready to move on
This my last goodbye
This is the end
See you later (Savvy)
Goodbye

on Chains
And then I rose to the top of the world
and saw that I was blessed
I saw that it was built on the backs of the poor and the oppressed
I saw this endless spinning
Of ending up back at the beginning
Of headlong races to where we sat
But oh the places we could go if the world was flat
And I was tired and defeated
With nothing turned out as I thought
But if I always do what I've always done then I'll only get what I always got
I saw the masses yawning stolen breaths
That they might breath the next
Tall drinks, queen ants and half mast cigarettes
The same lives the same pain
Lay like embers in the rain
And I saw all things invisible that bind me
Lady luck was smiling but it was at the guy behind me
Green and brown girls of the sea
Take me, but don't ever wake me
You want to be free
You want to be free
You want to be free
Why are you living in Chains?
And I saw my supposed enemy
But I looked exactly like him
I saw the boat was sinking
So I got out and learned how to swim
I saw the sorrow of the centuries
In sulfur smoke from the stacks
I saw bullets being buried in our old man's backs
I saw the poetry of the prophets
And they wallpapered over it, they did
The same words written years ago on the back of my eyelids
I saw tax collectors as national protectors
Tables being turned, books being burned, and bodies washing in from the sea
You want to be free
You want to be free
You want to be free
Why are you living in Chains?
You can change into a bird
With nothing but a word
You want to be free
Why are you living in Chains?
You want to be free
You want to be free
You want to be free
Why are you living in Chains?
