• Goodnight, goodnight

    You left me hanging from the tread we once swung from together,
    I’ve licked my wounds but I can’t ever see them getting better.
    Something’s gotta change,
    Things cannot stay the same.

    Her hair was pressed against her face,
    Her eyes were red with anger.
    Enraged by things unsaid and empty beds and bad behavior,
    Something’s gotta change.

    It must be rearranged,
    I’m sorry.
    I did not mean to hurt my little girl,
    It’s beyond me.

    I cannot carry the weight of the heavy world,
    So Goodnight…Goodnight…
    Hope that things work out all right.

    The room was silent as we all tried so hard to remember,
    The way it feels to be alive, the day he first met her.
    Something’s gotta change,
    Things cannot stay the same.

    You make me think of someone wonderful,
    But I can’t place her.
    I wake up every morning,
    Wishing one more time to face her.

    Something’s gotta change,
    It must be rearranged.
    I’m sorry,
    I did not mean to hurt my little girl.

    It’s beyond me,
    I cannot carry the weight of the heavy world.
    So Goodnight …Goodnight…
    Hope that things work out all right.

    So much to love, so much to learn,
    But I won’t be there to teach you.
    I know I can’t be close,
    But I’ll try my best to reach you.
    I’m so sorry,
    I did not mean to hurt my little girl.

    It’s beyond me,
    I cannot carry the weight of the heavy world.
    So… goodnight… goodnight…goodnight…*
