to those who love me
I wish you well
I’ll miss you more than I can tell
goodbye friends and family
sorry that I have to leave
keep me in your memories
as the man I tried to be
(dead dead dead and gone)
(dead dead dead and gone)
to those who talked behind my back
your lives will always be a mess
goodbye to my enemies
this is not your victory
I may pass and fade away
but all my thoughts they will remain
there is no exit on the road to hell
there is no happy ending in a dead man’s diary
there is no way to escape from fate
there is no shelter from the power of disbelief
there will be no legacy
but a list of things I never did
I’m the part of history
no one will ever tell
goodbye friends and family
sorry that I have to leave
keep me in your memories
as the man I tried to be
everything I dreamed of simply falls apart
where did I go wrong
how do I deserve to leave before I’m done
there is no exit on the road to hell
there is no happy ending in a dead man’s diary
there is no way to escape from fate
there is no shelter from the power of disbelief
there will be no legacy
but a list of things I never did
I’m the part of history
no one will ever tell
goodbye friends and family
sorry that I have to leave
keep me in your memories
as the man I tried to be
goodbye to my enemies
this is not your victory
I may pass and fade away
but all my thoughts they will remain
all that I leave behind is people
I once used to know
and all their unfulfilled expectations
I shiver as I think of all the things
I never said
and those I missed due to my hesitation
there is no exit on the road to hell
there is no happy ending in a dead man’s diary
there is no way to escape from fate
there is no shelter from the power of disbelief
there will be no legacy
but a list of things I never did
I’m the part of history
no one will ever tell
goodbye friends and family
sorry that I have to leave
keep me in your memories
as the man I tried to be
goodbye to my enemies
this is not your victory
I may pass and fade away
but all my thoughts they will remain
