A GOOD GOODBYE Lyrics by Braden Bales

CATALYST

2023

[Verse 1]
I wasted my youth on a life without truth, I'm
Just as fake as my promises
A slight tinge of blue in a mind that’s old news, I
Used to be such an optimist

[Pre-Chorus]
I bleed in the bathroom sink as I spiral down
In dark drinks that'll come right out
I'm afraid of what you might think if you saw me now

[Chorus]
But something ’bout the bitter seems sweet
And maybe rock bottom's too deep
I'm no good at climbing
So, I've been fantasizing
If this is just the person I was
Then I would disappoint you just one more time
I'll take the easy ride
A one-way to peace of mind
But it's not a good goodbye

[Post-Chorus]
[?]

[Verse 2]
Bitten and took or the boy who cried wolf, I
Think the second is sorriest
A page from your book is a line that won't hook, I'll
Grit my teeth and get on with it

[Pre-Chorus]
I picture my stained glass seat as you file down
And pay dues to my pinewood house
I can see that the pain won’t leave if I do right now
It’s passed around

[Chorus]
But something 'bout the bitter seems sweet (Ooh, ooh-ooh)
And maybe rock bottom’s too deep (Ooh)
I'm no good at climbing
So, I've been fantasizing
If this is just the person I was (Person I was)
Then I would disappoint you just one more time (Ah, ah, ah-ah)
I'll take the easy ride
A one-way to peace of mind
But it’s not a good goodbye

[Outro]
(It's not a good goodbye)
(If this is just the person I was)
(Then I would disappoint you just one more time)
(I'd take the easy ride)
(And say goodbye)
But it's not a good goodbye
