Lyrically Inspired

So I found this new band that I really, really like. Well, I didn't find them, exactly. I was told a thousand times by multiple people to check them out.

They're called Secondhand Serenade, and I really, really, really like them. I bought four songs by them so far--three of which are in the playlist on this blog--and I'm debating whether or not I should just go and buy the whole album right now. It's tempting.

But the lyrics I want to share with you are from the song "Goodbye." I put an excerpt from it on the page already, but I want to put the whole song out there, simply because it matches my current [strange] mood and is just, well, good.

So here's "Goodbye," by Secondhand Serenade:

It's a shame that it had to be this way
It's not enough to say I'm sorry
It's not enough to say I'm sorry
Maybe I'm to blame
Or maybe we're the same
But either way, I can't breathe
Either way, I can't breathe

All I had to say is goodbye
We're better off this way
We're better off this way

I'm alive, but I'm losing all my drive
'Cause everything we've been through
And everything about you
Seemed to be a lie
A guiltless, twisted lie
It made me learn to hate you
Or hate myself for letting it pass by

All I had to say is goodbye
We're better off this way
We're better off this way...

And every, everything isn't only
What it seemed, so hold these
Words that you never told me
It's time to say goodbye
It's time to say goodbye
It's time to say goodbye
Goodbye
Bye

Take my hand away
Spell it out
Tell me I was wrong
Tell me I was wrong



Definitely one of my new favorite songs. I'm not sure why it stuck with me like it did, but I can't shake it.

Musical rule to live by: If you can't get it out of your head, get it stuck in someone else's. :]
