lyrics

You don't have to be here when I'm gone.
You can close your eyes and fall asleep.
One day, when our world reaches its end,
You'll be just as real as anything.

I don't have to be there when you're gone.
I could never stay here at your side.
One day fact and vision will not hold,
I'll see myself in all the space between me and another.

Though you are the one who stood with me outside,
And though you are the one who threw your arms around me,
You could never fool me: I know your face quite well.
The lies and games, the stars in your eyes, they can go to hell.

You can make a face so beautiful.
You can make a heart that doesn't falter.
One day soon I will convince myself,
It is all informed by my real friends and lovers.
But I love to see you in full bloom.
Shining, smiling, shimmering in full blown color.
There is no day that will ever come
Where I won't be drawn to you in all your wonder.

But though you are the one who said those comforting words,
And though you are the one who I pulled close into me,
You could never fool me: I know your face quite well.
The truth that tears, the bright world inside, they can go to hell.

So when I'm old and when I'm blistered,
You can show me whatever you want.
The faces will be different,
And the wider world will go on.

Nothing has to be their when I'm gone.
We're not stars but right now I know
That I am alive and
Part of a world.

So you are not the one, girl (goodbye).
