A New Goodbye
[Verse 1]
I fear I'm falling behind
The light's obscured
A lure
Up to the second floor
Can't keep up
I feel I'm falling behind
Is this pre-war?
Oh

[Chorus]
And every single night
You lie awake (Lie awake)
Don't tell me that I'm a soft sacrifice
A new goodbye
And every single night
You lie awake (Lie awake)
Don't tell me that I'm a soft sacrifice
A new goodbye

[Verse 2]
I hear I'm falling behind
You're unconcerned with love
Now I'm wasted on half-assed charm
Oh
[Chorus]
And evеry single night
You lie awake (Liе awake)
Don't tell me that I'm a soft sacrifice
A new goodbye
And every single night
You lie awake (Lie awake)
Don't tell me that I'm a soft sacrifice
A new goodbye

[Verse 3]
I've clearly fallen behind
Your grand rebirth
But you'll learn
It's a common thing to suppress
Hard memory
We can run away from
Run away from our yesterdays
But I confess, I feel each one as they pass away

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
And every single night
You lie awake (Lie awake)
Don't tell me that I'm a soft sacrifice
A new goodbye
And every single night
You lie awake (Lie awake)
Don't tell me that I'm a soft sacrifice
A new goodbye
And every single night
You lie awake (Lie awake)
Don't tell me that I'm a soft sacrifice
A new goodbye
And every single night
You lie awake (Lie awake)
Don't tell me that I'm a soft sacrifice
A new goodbye
