about
from the forthcoming album Tragedy Gold
lyrics
You’re only kidding til you’re not
You’re a drama queen til you’re a tragedy
You’re the shame of your family name
Til you’re the unnamed family shame
You’re just a drip until you drop
A stick-in-the-mud til you’re stuck in the mud
You’re a killjoy hunting for fun
Til there is nothing that could have been done
So don’t say it if you don’t mean it!
But what if you meant it every time?
And you’re the boy who cried goodbye?
You’re always quitting til you stop
You’re a goddamn liar til you’re a prophesier
You’re to blame for not making a change
Til you’re to blame for the change that you made
You’re such a loser til you’re lost
From a helpless downer to a selfish coward
It’s the same conversation each call
Til there was no indication at all
So don’t say it if you don’t mean it!
But what if you meant it every time
And you’re the boy who cried goodbye?
You know how the war ended
Not how long it had gone on
Only that only the very last battle was lost
You’re always going til you’re gone
You’re insufferable til your suffering’s done
We’re appalled by your character flaws
Til you’re recalled by the manner you chose
So don’t say it if you don’t mean it!
But what if you meant it every time
And you’re the boy who cried goodbye?
