Invincible goodbyes
Two lies of yours you told me
Proved wrong with one mistake
Statements gone awry
Promises made to break
We both knew what could happen
And we both had different views
You said it was the best escape
If I tried to argue I would lose
Drugs don’t make you stronger
Booze can’t free you of the pain.
Of course you knew all of this
and didn’t bother to abstain
I’m not sure how it started
I really don’t care
You went against your judgment
And left us here filled with despair
I got angry when you left me
The high made you so clever
You pulled me close and whispering
"Goodbyes can’t last forever"
You had such potential
It all ended in one night
You were laughing and joking loudly
Promising it would be alright
The cars were going too fast
I begged you “just slow down alright?”
You flashed that famous smile
And said “we’re invincible tonight”
I can’t keep denying
The adrenaline of speed wasn’t cool
But it definitely wasn’t worth
A lifetime without you
The smell of burning rubber
Glass shattering all around
Metal bending in ways unreal
Then the silence was profound
You laid your hand within my own
I could feel your grimace of pain
Your apology was lost with sirens
And the colors faded away
They finally let me see you
Tears quickly filled my eyes
You attempted to smile weakly
And whispered your goodbyes
The I love you came out broken
The sorry slid out weak
You asked me for forgiveness
And fell into a final sleep
Losing you taught me two things
Things learned too late in our endeavor
No one is invincible
And goodbyes can last forever
Proved wrong with one mistake
Statements gone awry
Promises made to break
We both knew what could happen
And we both had different views
You said it was the best escape
If I tried to argue I would lose
Drugs don’t make you stronger
Booze can’t free you of the pain.
