Memorize the Dictionary - I'll Be Gone Before Long

In the middle of a lot, I broke down hard
Tried to go fast and I didn't go far
In the middle of it all, I saw you as you are
Never really asked for things to come apart
There's that blink, there's that stare
Nothing does compare
So it goes, there it went
I am not surprised
That this is all I see when I close my eyes, but

Hey, it's okay, I'll be gone before long
No time left to waste if there's no time at all, and
Hey, you're okay, I'll be gone before long
Just a mark, a face on a distant wall

It's been done, we've been had
We've been duped again
We've been crossed, we have swerved
We will round the bend
I'll be gone before long and we can talk then

If you were dying to hear what I had to say
I never find the right words anyway
If you were dying to hear about how I felt
Would it kill you if I told you that it wouldn't help
You have wept, you have cried
You have had your turn
Kept it up, doing fine
You do this all the time
I'll be gone before long and we can talk then

Let me know when, I'll try until then
Built a brittle bridge off a cliff again
I've been breaking bones about breaking bread
Been building hollow homes around strange beds
That is all, curtains closed
I think it's for the best
I'll stand tall, break apart
Stare in the eyes of the end
I'll be gone before long and we can talk then
I'll be gone before long and we can talk then
I'll be gone before long and we can talk then
