[Verse 1:] I remember that time, not very long ago 2011, I met a girl who melted my heart like Spring snow The very first hello, I thought yo she's not another ho Thought we could make it last, but she didn't know my past Dating me meant you had to overcome my baggage And that was the real challenge I still remember her reaction the day she realized why I never had satisfaction The fact is, I was depressed and lonely, broken and always ornery I would pick fights with her over any little thing, like on our anniversary One year together and all I did was yell at her The girl I was in love with, I made her my adversary That type of sh** will make her never want to marry me On the contrary, she gave up on me, would rather see me buried And I'll be honest, I thought about offing myself that very night I'll never see the light, so I'll jump off the bridge out of sight That was my plan until a friend talked me down and out of it I guess now, all I can do is sit tight, right? [Hook:] Here comes goodbye, here comes the last time Here comes the start of every sleepless night The first of every tear I'm gonna cry Here comes the pain, Here comes me wishing things had never changed That she was right here in my arms tonight But here comes goodbye [Verse 2:] Every stupid little thing I did she would always forgive
Subliminally, that's probably why I pushed her every last bu*ton It was difficult but I managed to keep her for almost two long years I never thought that this relationship would end in my tears Sure, it was my fear that the end could be near But when she finally broke it off, I couldn't see clear My friend invited me over and handed me a beer My rap career then reappeared I picked my pencil up and continued to vent on tape about a sh**ty year But I never once considered myself insincere Just a man who took your words in one ear and out the other However allow me now to volunteer my dear to make it all crystal clear I know what you want from me and what you wanna hear I'll disappear like a phantom in the darkness Provided that you stop calling me heartless, light a candle so I'm not alone in the blackness I've got some skeletons in my closet, but I'm not the only one Ashes ashes we all fall down like London bridge, this is goodbye [Hook:] But here comes goodbye, here comes the last time Here comes the start of every sleepless night The first of every tear I'm gonna cry Here comes the pain, Here comes me wishing things had never changed That she was right here in my arms tonight But here comes goodbye
