lyrics

Famous last words to sum up a life
Fragile, composed, to share what you know to be right
You hope they heard it, maybe the nurse did
And she could write it down if she spoke German
And you can move on, it doesn't matter
You've got no time left to feel sad or blue
Believe what you will and you will leave what you had behind

Nothing between you and nothingness now
No more contact, no more holding on
Never thought you'd end because you never had before
You believed in more

Famous last words to end a relationship
Simple and true, and freeing for you
You know he heard it, you know it worked because
He leaves like a jerk, to be alone, to feel hurt
And you're just glad it couldn't last
Pain is just love that is past its prime
Believe what you will and you will leave what you had behind

Nothing between you and anyone now
No more doubting, no more safe delays
Never thought you'd leave because you never had before
But you believed in more

Famous first words when you're just a child
Spoken with hope, you've broken the silence
You think you got it, the grownups nodded
You can do this, your future is plotted
And soon you will tell them your story
Kid- you are bound for glory
Believe what you will and you will leave what you had behind

Nothing between you and anything now
No more silence, no more Simon Says
Never thought you'd start because you never had before
Now you believe in more

You may have collected abundant and consistent data
But such a small frame will not predict these changes
Though I suppose the theory goes
That nothing ever is destroyed
