I love you, goodbye

You know that you caused this?
this horrible pain
its all your fault
I'm stuck out in the rain

you came here to meet me
a coffee, as friends
so i guess this is how this
sad tale ends

from the cafe we walked
out to the head
the sea streaming blue
the sunset, deep red

we were out on the cliff
you asked could you fly
i said i didn't know
so you said "let me try"

i thought you were joking
and joked you along
i thought you\'d stop at the edge
i was wrong

i realised you meant it
just a moment before
you said that you'd
love me forever more

i begged you to stop
not to jump, not to try
you soldiered on bravely
convinced you could fly

i asked what you intended
when you reached the waves
you said you weren't sure
but told me to be brave

you said you couldn't take it
too much had gone wrong
you knew the way out
you'd known all along

the only way to stop it
to make everything right
would be to jump
and end your own life

i told you i loved you
said angels would cry
you said you were an angel
meaning you could fly

the only thing stopping you
from opening your wings
was the heavy human body
and the memories it brings

by now you were crying
and i think i was too
you said you were leaving
i said it was too soon

i loved you too much
and without you id die
you said you loved me
and together we'd fly

i said you were the angel
not me, i wasn't right
so you ran at the cliff
and jumped into the night

i screamed and i screamed
as i heard you scream too
you screamed two things
goodbye and i love you

help came to me
and the sound of my screams
the sound that will haunt me
forever in my dreams

the week after i came
back here to the cliff
i thought of jumping
and my body went stiff

you were an angel
you knew you could fly
i was too wrong
to soar through the sky

but something i learned
when they brought you back
that even an angels life
goes off track
