One last goodbye
And you'll leave it all behind
Say these words over and over
Until they start to sound right
One last denial
And you'll find the reason why
Many of us lose our lives before we die

You are afraid of being too blind to see
That you shut your eyes too tightly
Only so you can escape this reality
How many sorrows can you swallow and resist
Before the bitterness starts burning your lips

Not waiting for the stars to fall from the sky
You choose to believe all the lies
Breaking away from these chains

You run away
Run away
And light one more fire
To not lose your way in the dark
Falling again and again
But you never tire
Oh
Hoping for a long goodbye

One voiceless cry
And it dries you up inside
You're oblivious to the pain that's reflected in your eyes
Feel the world spin
As you face the silver wind
You fell victim to this moment in a dream, yeah
You fell victim to this moment in a dream

Still trying to reach the place beyond the clouds
You choose to believe all the lies
Breaking away from these chains

You run away
Run away
And light one more fire
To not lose your way in the dark
Falling again and again
But you never tire
Oh
Hoping for a long goodbye

When the pieces of time fall apart in your hands
You'll soon forget the reasons that you had
For trying to put them back together again

You run away
Run away
And light one more fire
Write your name with dust

You run away
Run away
And light one more fire
To not lose your way in the dark
Falling again and again
But you never tire
Oh
Hoping for a long goodbye

Hoping for a long goodbye
