I know I strike like lightning
Darkness is overwhelming
No, you, you cannot stop me
I ride into the storm

My struggles are living with sin
It hurts me, still I pretend
So broken, my heart cannot mend
My worries, they know no end

I'm the place where secrets go to die
I'm the tongue that tells the lie
I'm the tears that fall
From your mother's eyes
I am the long goodbye
I teach angels how to fly

I crumble, I disintegrate
My nightmares are when I'm awake
It haunts me, I've made my mistakes
So painful, I scar, I break

I'm the place where secrets go to die
I'm the tongue that tells the lie
I'm the tears that fall
From your mother's eyes
I am the long goodbye
I teach angels how to fly

I'm the place where secrets go to die
I'm the tongue that tells the lie
I'm the tears that fall
From your mother's eyes
I am the long goodbye

I'm in the place where secrets go to die
I'm the tongue that tells the lie
I'm the tears that fall
From your mother's eyes
I am the long goodbye
I teach angels how to fly
