A Likely Goodbye by Ettrick Shepherd Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I guess that there’s a sense of mercy in love
If I care for you no one could hurt me as much
I’ve been verbally struck
Believe me - words are enough
To personally crush you
When they’re coming from the girl that you - ugh
I know it sounds absurd but I can’t pronounce that word
Cos the noun and verb both burn on my tongue
Now I’m feeling internally cut
Tried to apply detergent and scrubbed
But all that did was sting the wound
I’m not used to using hyperbole but
You bought out the worst in me, show me adversity
Stole my heart like a burglary, mugged
I’m not sure about a lot of things
But it’s confirmed that our time is certainly up
[Hook 1]
Funny how you say you love me
But you don’t take the time to look me in the eyes
And see the things that I like
You ask for my attention
I ask for more comprehension
Don’t take this likely or say goodbye to me
Hugging you so tightly
And I reply to that…
[Verse 2]
You wonder why I don’t show any love
I always make sure that emotion is shut
Because every time that I open it up
It results in me feeling broken as fuck
We touch and tickles my spine
But psychologically this is hardcore war
Think I’m starting figure out what
I treated your heart like a dartboard for
I was mad that I couldn’t keep these
Emotions contained in my cardboard fort
You gave me all that you
Had to give and I asked for more
See, I could never date myself
Cos my mental state ain’t in the greatest health
I hate myself cos you let me into
Perfect life and I made it hell
And you say to that…
[Hook 1]
Funny how you say you love me
But you don’t take the time to look me in the eyes
And see the things that I like
You ask for my attention
I ask for more comprehension
Don’t take this likely or say goodbye to me
Hugging you so tightly
[Verse 3]
Sex - a desire craved by many
Craved my simple humans like me
I hate this shit
Our relationship is hanging by a string
Surviving on a fling
Obsession to fuck, fuck like bunnies
Then I’m waiting for that phone to ring
Tears - they roll more than I stroll
But is there I link?
Putting all my breath blood and pain
Just because I think you’re my main
Wishing we were healthier and I was happier
Will this ever change
Never had so much aggression
Feel like I need more sessions
Running in circles, circles of panic
But I don’t want you to go manic
[Hook 2]
Funny how you say you love me
But I feel like it's pity cos you’re so pretty
And I’m so ugly
Twist your mind so don’t know how
Much of a mess that I am
It disgusts me but it’s likely
That this is goodbye, damn
I guess that there’s a sense of mercy in love
If I care for you no one could hurt me as much
I’ve been verbally struck
Believe me - words are enough
To personally crush you
When they’re coming from the girl that you - ugh
I know it sounds absurd but I can’t pronounce that word
Cos the noun and verb both burn on my tongue
Now I’m feeling internally cut
Tried to apply detergent and scrubbed
But all that did was sting the wound
I’m not used to using hyperbole but
You bought out the worst in me, show me adversity
Stole my heart like a burglary, mugged
I’m not sure about a lot of things
But it’s confirmed that our time is certainly up
