RIGHT LEG:

Last year was one of our better years.
in a life full of separation
it’s ok to second guess.
just as long as you remember she’s gone…

In the bright of day
it might seem like the stars are gone.
they never leave,
they come back when the sun moves on.

It’s over now.
you watched me as I turned around.
it’s not why, but how
the light is on.
I’ll come home now.

I feel it’s been such a long time
since her eyes have met with mine.
I feel it’s been such a long time
I’m glad you’ve made up your mind.
it’s hurting me from the inside.
if I only had something to say.
maybe if I prove that I’m right.
will it still be safe to stay?

- “The Goodbye Song” by New Found Glory

LEFT LEG:

Let’s get out
Let’s get out of here
I’ll go it alone if I have to but,
I need you there
I’m honest with nobody else
Whether or not I make it there is will itself
I’m honest with only myself
How I can’t afford to lose you now,
Not in this hell

I’ll stay with you

I’m a mess
A total wreck
A poor excuse without you near to
Keep me in check
Take me out, take me anywhere
I’m out of touch with everything
And I don’t care
I must be out of my mind
All that I have to give to you
Is all my time

I’ll stay with you
And we’ll say over and over… I’m a waste of time
