— 9. DIFFICULT GOODBYES — (Exchange Rates)
Clean cut, uncomfortably happy.
Such a catch, but a catch 22.
With fingers crossed staring straight down the barrel,
Of a criminal who I've always known.
Wish I could break, these bitter reflections,
Of my own fuckin’ face staring straight back at me.
When going crazy you can't see…
How to change these difficult goodbyes,
To a hello here tomorrow.
I'd trade these difficult goodbyes,
For a hello here tomorrow.
Well it’s about time that we realized,
Every second we shared couldn’t ever be fake because,
Everything real has an expiration date.
And you’re on my mind,
And I’ve lost my mind for the last time…
I'd trade these difficult goodbyes,
For a hello here tomorrow.
I'd trade these difficult goodbyes,
For a hello here tomorrow.
And I’m screaming out, screaming out,
A devil's offer.
Screaming out, screaming out,
For so much more,
Screaming out, screaming out,
A devil's offer,
A deal I can't ignore.
I won’t take, I won’t save your sweet heart love,
I won’t make your half heart whole again,
I won’t take, I won’t save your sweet heart love,
I won’t take, I won’t break it again,
I won’t take, I won’t save your sweet heart love,
I won’t take, I won’t break it again,
I won’t take, I won’t save your sweet heart love,
But I’d do it all over again before I lost my best friend.
And if there's anything in this world I would change,
I'd sing our favourite song with you again.
