about

I picked out this acoustic riff on a trip somewhere in the Carolinas. I never really gave the lyrics much thought, honestly (I was notorious for being lazy back then). But it was all in good fun, despite how depressing it all sounds put together. I believe I was coping with a nasty breakup around this time that inspired that vibe.

lyrics

I'm leaving this town tomorrow
Not that you would even care
I guess it probably shouldn't matter now
But it stings when you once were there
But years go by and feelings die
And it still doesn't feel alright
But just in case you want to say anything I'm leaving tonight
Just in case you want to say anything I'm saying goodbye

So goodbye, forever this is the last time
I'll ever get to say how I feel
As you walk away
Just in case you want to say anything I'm leaving tonight
Just in case you want to say anything I'm saying goodbye

It still kills me you don't even care
And I hate to be a pessimist
But it's amazing how we've been through thick and thin
And now you could care less if I exist
But maybe someday you'll come around
And realize you miss me sometimes
But just in case you want to say anything I'm leaving tonight
Just in case you want to say anything I'm saying goodbye

Years go by and people die
Someday I'll be gone too
And when that final day comes
What will it matter to you?
You never fell from grace, you just failed to hit your brakes
Trying to keep up with the pace
And somehow you got lost in the midst of it all
But I believe that we both lost the race
But just in case you want to say anything I'm leaving tonight
Just in case you want to say to me one last time
Before I leave you behind
Goodbye...
