a proper goodbye Lyrics by ​elizabeth whitington

there’s a heaven and there’s a star for you

2025

I thought of using a “Tin man” metaphor
How hacky could I get?
You’ve heard this goodbye a million moments before
This can just be another we forget
But if this is truly the last time
You deserve a proper goodbye

Oh, how those November feelings of me have shifted
Less a buoy you can hold onto
More a prick in the side of your eye
And I will never stop loving you
Not even hell can undo that

And I just hope she treats you
Like the sun shines out of your еyes
And the moon exists in thе palm of your hand
Your soul gem doesn’t have to darken tonight

And I forgot to commit suicide
At the peak of our desperate love
And it feels so gross to say that out loud
But I want you to be happy

Please let the mirror break
Through dogs and sickness
I hope you never rest
Until she exists in the base of your chest
And when you think of me
You can say with a grin:
"His touch was like acid
It burned through my skin”
But it’s all okay now

There’s a blanket heaven and endless stars for you
And maybe in another life, I can finally get this right
And I hope you’re the first I meet
Dogs with flags marked “joy” in supernova bold
Reminds me of October 18
And I will always be here
Waiting just for you
And everyone that you love will be right here too
There’s a heaven and there’s a star for you

You were meant for a stage
As big as space can provide you
Wrap your hands around the stars
I promise they’ll forgive you
Candies sent from the stars
And quiches sent from the heavens
There will be a space for you when it’s your turn to give in
And hopefully, that’ll never be
And when it does, you go peacefully
Or kicking and screaming
We’ll hold your hand
I don’t care if it’s cold, I’m still your friend
And I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I, oh
