Lyrics

I said my goodbyes
I left the emerald city behind me
I’m not gonna cry
Don’t need it to feel free or define me
That’s quite the suggestion
The temptation to follow without question
when spinning out of control
but my good deeds are not up for inspection
It is an inside job to keep your chin up
Far from a four leaf clover, but so hard to give up
An epidemic of broken hearts and each one of them mine
Swimming every which way
you only want to move freely within it
But they’re all typically vague
arranging the death of a dream
while you’re still sleeping in it
When each one of them’s mine, I say my goodbyes
And the house wasn’t built
To believe in something so completely
If you feel you’re losing yourself
Leave it quietly and do it discreetly
So say your goodbyes, you don’t need to cry
Such charm! Big ideas! I don’t like to feel manipulated
So next time I won’t be so easily persuaded
