Analysis of This Is My Goodbye



This is my goodbye but please don't say a word
I don't exist, I can't be heard
Each day's a new failure, every trial is my master
Every step I gain, I only fall back faster
This is my goodbye but please don't try to stop me
There is nothing left, there is nothing left

It's over, please lay me to rest
Forgive me, let me go
It's my choice, so please lay me to rest
Forgive me, let me go

I am no martyr, this place overwhelms me
Once again I collapse, I see no way to be free
I search for the answers, is there no solution
I realize my reflection, my reflection is my demon

It's my blasphemy, hoping not to wake
Each day is the nightmare, sleep is freedom
You gave, but it was not enough
Your strength, it was not enough
Never enough

It's over, please lay me to rest
Forgive me, let me go
It's my choice, so please lay me to rest
Forgive me, let me go....
