Goodbye to the Gallows by Emmure - Album Lyrics & Tracks

6 ContributorsA Ticket for the Paralyzer LyricsGo!

[Intro]

You know it's all a game

That we play back and forth

I leave, you chase and we're

Back to square one

We were not meant to be

And I tried my best to work it through

I asked my friends "What should I do?"

Their only advice was leaving you

 

[Refrain]

But I'm glad I did

 

[Breakdown]

Or at least that's what I tell myself

I swear to God I never would've

Known your face or your name

If everyday is a constant reminder you're a

Whore, liar

Ghost, harlot

 

[Chorus]

And it's sad to say that I, I still cry

To the Bayside CD

I, I still cry

To the Bayside CD every day

 

 

[Post-Chorus]

Don't you know that those songs are about you?

Check tracks 8 and 9, then call me back

 

[Bridge]

You ask me "When is it over?"

You ask me "When is it over?"

Over? This isn't over till I say it's over

This isn't over till I say it's over

This isn't over till I say it's over

This isn't over till I say

 

[Verse 1]

Back to square one

Come on!

 

[Verse 2]

We were not meant to be

And I tried my best to work it through

I asked my friends "What should I do?"

Their only advice was leaving you

 

[Refrain]

But I'm glad I did

But I'm glad I did

 

 

[Outro]

And it's sad to say

But I'm glad I did

[Intro]

I hope this is a passing phase

There is no future where I stand here with you

This is the end

 

[Pre-Breakdown]

No longer will you hear my voice

So long, goodbye

And don't you think for a second

You'll see my face again

I killed hope, but you buried it

 

[Breakdown]

This is a promise, I will not let you back in my life

This is a promise I keep to myself

 

[Post-Breakdown]

Only time will tell how long you'll keep your legs closed

I give that bitch another week before she's on her knees again with one of my friends

 

[Bridge]

And I tried my best to forgive and forget you

And I tried my best to forgive and forget you

 

[Outro]

Won't you be my bride? (Another day, another day, another day, another day)

Won't you be my bride? (Another day, another day, another day, another day)

Won't you be my bride? (Another day, another day, another day, another day)

Won't you be my bride? (Another day, another day, another day, another day)

Won't you be my bride? (Another day, another day, another day, another day)

Won't you be my bride? (Another day, another day, another day, another day)

Won't you be my bride? (Another day, another day, another day, another day)

Won't you be my bride? (Another day, another day, another day, another day)

[Intro]

I just wanna rub it in your fucking face!

And make you remember everything

No, you were never a friend to me

 

[Breakdown]

Just a part in all my movies

Stabbing you dead in every scene

And I'm not gonna stop until you realize

How you made me feel

 

[Bridge]

And I swear it's all your fault

At least that's what I remember

And I see, I see right through you

Jealousy pouring out your eyes

So I ask for the great applause

For this poor

This poor Capricorn

 

[Outro]

I hope you enjoy living in my shadow

When you signed the dotted line

Did you think that things would change?

I just wanna rub it in your fucking face!

And make you remember everything

I, I can't help but laugh

I can't help but laugh and now we know that things will never change

It's all about business

It's all about business now

About business now

[Intro]

They will find my corpse on the shower floor

And with my bleeding wrists

Will be a note that explains all of this (Dear friends and family, I hope that you can understand)

 

[Chorus]

I could not handle the fear and regret

Knowing I ruined my only chance

A lesson in carelessness, let my grave stand as proof

You've only got one chance, so take advantage

 

[Bridge]

I will burn in hell for my selfishness

I will burn in hell for my selfishness

I will burn in hell

But you'll see me reach for angel wings

 

[Refrain]

You've only got one chance, so take advantage

 

[Outro]

I know the backlash, call me a coward all you want

I know the truth is that I am free

I am free

I am free

I am free

I am free

I am free
