Never Get To Say Bye Lyrics

[Intro: Danimal Lector]

Yeah, I got a lot of shit on my mind, man
I really think if I don't get it off my fucking chest
Shits gonna eat me alive

[Verse One: Danimal Lector]

If we never, ever speak again
I want you to know that we were friends
And it hurts so much that even when
I think that I'm over it I'm seeing them
Why'd it even end?
Cause you lost control, dropped your defense
And jumped in the deep end
You can't blame no one but you for your mistakes
I can't even look you in your face
I wanna cry, or hit you, I don't know, one of the two
I think about it every time there's nothing to do
Like damn, I wish you here
So close, but so far and no one's near
My only fear is dying alone and look at me now
Yeah, but my Mama's proud
Mr. Split Personality, the real world's a shitty reality
And the only thing holding me down is gravity
[Hook: Jess Coughlin (Danimal Lector)]

It's quite clear what I'm trying to say
You're right here, it's like you're miles away
I fear that if I die today
(I'll never get to say bye!)
(I'll never get to say bye!)

[Verse Two: Danimal Lector]

If we never, ever speak again
I want you to know that we were friends
And it hurts so much that even when
I just think I'm over it I'm seeing them
What the fuck happened? Seems like a blur
Oh yeah, I needed you and, you needed her
Went from being my best man to not on the guest list
God, I could not have ever guessed this
Guess it's, all my fault, I know
All I said was how I felt, you took it as some kinda blow
And so, the snowball, rolled out of control
See you four times a week, no hi or hello
But I'm over it bro, I'm not dying with enemies
We all go bye-bye eventually
So if we don't talk now like we used to do
It's straight no hate, all love, just do you
[Hook: Jess Coughlin (Danimal Lector)]

It's quite clear what I'm trying to say
You're right here, it's like you're miles away
I fear that if I die today
(I'll never get to say bye!)
(I'll never get to say bye!)

[Verse Three: Danimal Lector]

I spent so many years sulking in tears
Opening beers, pouring 'em out
You were supposed to be here
My big brother, you took him before I could meet him
Thanks a lot
You fucking Indian Giver, I hate you God
In his death I was born to face the odds

Over qualified from day one, I'll take the job
Shortly after me came you, the truest love
But that turned to you and drugs
Shooting up, looting us
Stealing shit from under my nose
I chose to keep my distance a hundred below
I froze, my own bro's, like living with a stranger
So much anger
I'm surprised that I didn't snap
But I'm glad, cause I'm looking back
And now you're here and that's all that I coulda asked
I wish I could turn back time to mend the sorrow
But I can't so if the world ends tomorrow
[Hook: Jess Coughlin (Danimal Lector)]

It's quite clear what I'm trying to say
You're right here, it's like you're miles away
I fear that if I die today
(I'll never get to say bye!)
(I'll never get to say bye!)

[Outro: Jess Coughlin]

It's quite clear what I'm trying to say
You're right here but it's like you're miles away
I fear that if I die today
I'll never get to say goodbye
No, no, I'll never get to say goodbye
