lessons learned
and these rules of thumb are broken now
in this broken kingdom
and I never had time to figure it out
it's said and done
life goes on and on and on...

cause I'm gone!
it's taking too damn long
we're all just moving on
seems like everyone's like me
a high school tragedy <i>[x2]</i>

I'm picking up the pieces of the broken hearted
(of the broken hearted)
trying to mend them into one (bring them together)
it was the last day of high school
when I walked right by you
your eyes never shifted like I ever existed
you're walking away too fast
both you and I know we'd never last
(she walked out the door...)

I'm gone!
it's taking too damn long
we're all just moving on
seems like everyone's like me
a high school tragedy <i>[x2]</i>
and I'm gone!

now I sit here soaking up some sun
on this monday morning
I'm coming home just for a moment
then I'm nowhere to be found
this is it! my last goodbye
so goodbye and goodnight to you
I'll meet you somewhere on the other side
