I learned to read
All the ABC's of life from the news
Ignored the things that are obvious
I couldn't bear to watch
What's really happening
I tend to care
By following what says in the books
Ignored all things I'm oblivious
I couldn't take that path
It's painful to see me
Go and fall
The trap door opened wide
I fell and touched the earth
I saw and felt rebirth
I woke up from a dream
A nightmare
If this is how you bid your goodbyes, your goodbyes
Cutting all of your, all your ties
All your ties
I should've listened
Instead of pretending
That every moment's perfect
But it's time to wave my hand
And sail, sail away
I tried to be
The person that they've shown on TV
I forced myself to be serious
I couldn't stand to see that person isn't me
So I tried to find
The clues that made me read all the books
I tried to find where I may have lost
The sense of who I am
Cos I don't want to watch me
Go and fall
The trap door opened wide
I fell and touched the earth
I saw and felt rebirth
I woke up from a dream
A nightmare
If this is how you bid your goodbyes, your goodbyes
Cutting all of your, all your ties
All your ties
I should've listened
Instead of pretending
That every moment's perfect
But it's time to wave my hand
And sail, sail away
Sometimes it lasts for a day
Friends can stay for the week
Rare times when they stay as you sail away
You gotta keep those precious people by your side
