Goodbye Lola, give it your best
'Cause life will put you to the test
It's sex, stress, rent, money, and death
Don't let the parasites subdue
That fire burning inside you
Don't let anyone take your last breath
You tried so hard to make me see
For so long, you were there for me
For some reason I only noticed
The bottle in hand and the ways we would sleep
Every night you returned to me
The same way I returned to the drink
Selfish and lethal, horny and feeble
Then Lola, one day you left
No hugs or kiss or second guess
My heart bled right out of my chest
The beast inside me started tearing apart
What was left of the man who still had a real heart
Goodbye Lola, I finally see
That we were never meant to be
The tumult in my head has finally stopped
So many nights, I sat awake
Remembering just how you taste
Tormented over what I thought I lost
Time passed by and you moved on
But I stayed still, once you were gone
So drunk and fucked up that I couldn't
See my destruction had pushed you away
So rejected, so confused
So pathetic, drowning in booze
No help to give, no life to live
So Lola, babe, I've gotta say
I know, now, why you ran away
You saved yourself from the part of me
Spiralling downward and decomposing
And wasting every moment living in a dream
