Lyrics

So Long

Because you never quite had the guts
To tell me how you feel (to tell me how you feel)
Show me something that's real (show me something that's real)
You never show me what's inside (you never show me what's inside)
The truth can never hide (the truth can never hide)

How could such a simple argument turn into this?
I thought that I knew everything about you
I pushed that flashing red button that set you off
I guess that I didn't really know you as well as I thought I did

I guess that I figured out everything about you
I guess that I know all there is to know
I guess that I figured out what makes you do all the things you do
I guess that I know everything there is to know

So long
Do you want me to say goodbye? You make me wanna say so long and
Do you want me to say goodbye? You make me wanna say so long and
Do you want me to say goodbye? You make me wanna...

You know you make me wanna say so long
You know you make me wanna say goodbye (goodbye)
You know you make me wanna say so long
You know you make me wanna say... good... bye

Goodbye

How could you do all the things that you've done to me
And still have the nerve to say we're friends? I don't know
They tell me that it's all a part of growing up and being scared
When I was down and out where were you? You weren't there

I guess that I figured out everything about you
I guess that I know all there is to know
I guess that I figured out what makes you do all the things you do
I guess that I know everything there is to know

So long
Do you want me to say goodbye? You make me wanna say so long and
Do you want me to say goodbye? You make me wanna say so long and
Do you want me to say goodbye? You make me wanna...

You know you make me wanna say so long
You know you make me wanna say goodbye (goodbye)
You know you make me wanna say so long
You know you make me wanna say... good... bye

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Good fucking bye

Goodbye
