Goodbye Kiss
Lana Del Rey · Other Songs - Lana Del Rey
-------------------------------------------------
Doomed from the start
We met with a goodbye kiss, I broke my wrist
It all kicked off
I had no choice
You said that you didn't mind, 'cause love's hard to find
And maybe the days we had are gone; living in silence for too long
Open your eyes and what do you see?
No more laughs; no more photographs
Turning slowly, looking back
See, no words can save this
You're broken and I'm pissed
Run along like I'm supposed to
Be the man I ought to
Rock and roll sent us insane
I hope some day that we will meet again
Running wild
Giving it everyone
Now that's all done
And maybe the days we had are gone; living in silence for too long
Open your eyes and what do you see?
No more laughs; no more photographs
Turning slowly, looking back
See, no words can save us
You're broken and I'm pissed
Run along like I'm supposed to
Be the man I ought to
Rock and roll sent us insane
I hope some day that we will meet again
You go your way and I'll go my way
No words can save us
This lifestyle made us
Run along like I'm supposed to
Be the man I ought to
Rock and roll sent us insane
I hope some day that we will meet again
