The Boy Who Cried Goodbye (3:41)

You’re only kidding until you’re not
You’re a drama queen until you’re a tragedy
You’re the shame of your family name
Until you’re the unnamed family shame

You’re just a drip until you drop
A stick-in-the-mud until you’re stuck in the mud
You’re a killjoy hunting for fun
Until there’s nothing that could have been done

So don’t say it if you don’t mean it!
Oh, but what if you meant it every time
And you’re the boy who cried goodbye?

You’re always quitting until you stop
You’re a goddamn liar until you’re a prophesier
You’re to blame for not making a change
Until you’re to blame for the change that you made

You’re such a loser until you’re lost
From a helpless downer to a selfish coward
It’s the same conversation each call
Until there was no indication at all

So don’t say it if you don’t mean it!
Oh, but what if you meant it every time
And you’re the boy who cried goodbye?

You know how the war ended
But not how long it had gone on
Only that only the very last battle was lost

You’re always going until you’re gone
You’re insufferable until your suffering’s done
We’re appalled by your character flaws
Until you’re recalled by the manner you chose

So don’t say it if you don’t mean it!
Oh, but what if you meant it every time
And you’re the boy who cried goodbye?
