I will not sing another song for the dead because the dead, they are not listening. from now on all the songs that i sing will be songs sung for the living. i will not sing about my heartbreaks. it's better to sing about your heart aches. i will not sing about what i once had but i'll sing about what i long to have because the future holds a chance and you can never catch up to your past. you've got to look it right in the eye and say goodbye. i will not waste another minute of my time trying to raise the dead. i will not waste a second of my life 'cause when some things are broken they can never be fixed. so i say goodbye because i'll never go back in time. so i say good bye
