Golden despairing

Chorus

Goodbye, the words just hang in the air

Tried so hard, but I know you’re not there

We wanted gold, ended up with despair

I’m laughing through tears, act like I don’t care

Drop

Oh, oh, oh, let it go, let it fade (fade)

Oh, oh, oh, everything breaks (breaks)

Verse 2

You said forever like a punchline

Jokes on me, guess the setup was fine

Broken pictures, fake smiles in the archive

Now I’m solo, last laugh, bad punchline

Lights flicker, close the scene, curtain twist

No encore, my faults check the list

All that’s left’s a memory with a glitch

Final joke, life’s a ditch, and we slipped

Pre-Chorus

All the ways we tried to fix it

Every promise split in two

Didn’t know the final punch would hit

But in the silence, truth came through

Chorus

Goodbye, the words just hang in the air

Tried so hard, but I know you’re not there

We wanted gold, ended up with despair

I’m laughing through tears, act like I don’t care

Drop

Oh, oh, oh, let it go, let it fade (fade)

Oh, oh, oh, everything breaks (breaks)
