she woke me up one Saturday
and all she said was, I'm going away
leave me alone, I'm leaving you
I'm moving home, without you
I'm not the same ,as I once was
moving further, away from love
a canyon deep and this divide
this is no place, for me to hide
so ill escape, and take a plane
a thousand miles, and change my name
I finish this, here tonight
and throw away, a shallow life
far away from this cold place
into the arms, of saving grace
where I can go, erase my thoughts
and drink away, a broken heart
a corner table, the darkest bar
to the depths of hell, if I can go that far
I'm out of luck , its been that way
since I read out loud, Hemmingway
all things truly wicked, start like this
they fall apart, from innocence
I lost my nerve and went insane
but I'm still compelled to take the train
I don't want to die, a cowards death
would you even care, if I left
I'm not the same, I couldn't be
I'm waiting here , please wait with me
I wrote a letter , they're my last words
I hung rope, on top the world
I like the rope, around my neck
a cigarette for my last breath
its misery and lonesome blue
this is of course, is my best suit
goodbye world goodbye love
goodbye God and its been rough
