i will not sing another song for the dead
because the dead, they are not listening.
from now on all the songs that i sing
will be songs sung for the living.
i will not sing about my heartbreaks.
it's better to sing about your heart aches.
i will not sing about what i once had
but i'll sing about what i long to have
because the future holds a chance
and you can never catch up to your past.
you've got to look it right in the eye and say goodbye.
i will not waste another minute of my time trying to raise the dead.
i will not waste a second of my life
'cause when some things are broken they can never be fixed.
so i say goodbye because i'll never go back in time.
so i say good bye.
