We can sit here with the patchwork on the wall
You could listen to me breathe
We could stare into the bonfire that you made
Out of little bits of me

When you finally open your mouth
I'm amazed at what comes out
And I'm struck by the futility of it all

And I'm gone
Sayin' so long
You live and you learn
You die then you burn

And I guess I feel it's time
To attempt to tell you why
But you raise your voice in sympathetic tones

It's wrong, this is my song
I didn't write it so that you could sing along
I need you there, snug in your chair
Where I know you can do no harm
And thankful that I, like petrified ice
Will remain cool and calm

And I'm gone
Sayin' so long
You live and you learn
You die then you burn

Though I'll never be your man
Oh, my highness, take my hand
And we'll pretend everything will be just fine

'Til I'm gone
And sayin' so long
You live and you learn
You die then you burn
