Alibi for Goodbye

Light a candle
say a prayer
wings will take you higher
as high as you cared
such a fine line
bask in the light
don't get caught in the fire

there's a point past pain
when all that remains went away
in two places at once
 bury it with a laugh
an optimistic attack of white lies
an alibi for goodbye...
when goodbye is a crime

Read my face
I can't hide my thoughts
or is it what I want you to see?
looks like they all forgot
just as I suspected
hope to be neglected
another slate wiped clean

there's a point past pain
when all that remains went away
in two places at once
 bury it with a laugh
an optimistic attack of white lies
an alibi for goodbye...
when goodbye is a crime

can't function head on
so I pretend you're still here
 when the storm's this calm
maybe it's a dream this time
 another alibi for goodbye

bury it with a laugh
an optimistic attack of white lies
a lullaby of alibis
lullaby
lullaby

an alibi
alibi
 for goodbye...


Love Always,
Lainey
