You and I, fire and ice
I melt you down, you put me out
Fingertips retrace the lines
A map of rivers running backward

I follow where they go
Inside and they turn into snow
Here's the part where I leave you alone
I leave you alone (goodbye)

I should've seen it coming by the look in your eye
The truth ain't the truth when it's followed by a lie
You can tell yourself a story 'bout the reason I'm saying goodbye
Goodbye
No I won't be a witness to the problem anymore
There's smoke in the air and water on the floor
And you're standing in the middle wondering why I'm saying goodbye
Goodbye

You and I, we bleed and die
Resurrect, going round and round
We are drawn to the vice
Giving up we love the breakdown

I follow where they go
Inside and they turn into snow
Here's the part where I leave you alone
I leave you alone (goodbye)

I should've seen it coming by the look in your eye
The truth ain't the truth when it's followed by a lie
You can tell yourself a story 'bout the reason I'm saying goodbye, goodbye
No I won't be a witness to the problem anymore
There's smoke in the air and water on the floor
And you're standing in the middle wondering why I'm saying goodbye, goodbye
There's one thing fire can't light
One thing fire can't light

I follow where they go
Inside and they turn into snow
Here's the part where I leave you alone
I leave you alone (goodbye)

I should've seen it coming by the look in your eye
The truth ain't the truth when it's followed by a lie
You can tell yourself a story 'bout the reason I'm saying goodbye, goodbye
No I won't be a witness to the problem anymore
There's smoke in the air and water on the floor
And you're standing in the middle wondering why I'm saying goodbye, goodbye
