You gotta feel so guilty Got so much for so little Then you find that feeling just won't go away You're holding on to every little thing so tightly Till there's nothing left for you anyway Goodbye You can keep this suit of lights I'll be up with the sun I'm not coming down I'm not coming down, oh I'm not coming down You wanted to get somewhere so badly You had to lose yourself along the way You change a name but that's okay It's necessary And what you leave behind You don't miss anyway Goodbye You can keep this suit of lights I'll be up with the sun I'm not coming down I'm not coming down, oh I'm not coming down 'Cause I'm already gone Felt that way all along Closer to you every day I didn't want it that much anyway You're taking steps that make you feel dizzy Then you get to like the way it feels You hurt yourself you hurt your lover Then you discover What you thought was freedom is just greed Goodbye It's emotional Goodnight I'll be up with the sun Are you still holding on I'm not coming down, oh I'm not coming down, oh I'm not coming down
