My mother said the younger me was a pretending prodigy
Well, nothing then much has changed
Cause while you're wolfing down liquor
My soul, it gets sicker
But I'm sticking to the screenplay
Gotta say I'm okay
But answer this, babe
How is it now that somehow you're a stranger?
You were mine just yesterday
I prayed the block in my airway dissipates
And instead deters your airplane's way
But heaven denied
Destiny decried
Something beautiful died
Too soon
But I'm letting go
I'm giving up the ghost
But don't get me wrong
I'll always love you
That's why I wrote you this very last song
I guess this is where we say goodbye
I know I'll be alright
Someday I'll be fine
But just not tonight (Ooh)
Plunging into all kinds of diversions
Like blush wine and sonorous soirées
But even with gin and surgin' adrenaline
I see you're all that can intoxicate
Oceans and engines
You're skilled at infringin' on great love affairs
Cause now my heart's home
All I've known is long gone and ten thousand miles away
And I'm not okay
But I'm letting go
