Deadbeat - Goodbye Nancy Lyrics

I wish I could be in love
But I know it's too soon
When we died, my love died too
Now to honor her
I've made my heart her tomb
Promised I'd never love anyone like we used to

Now this fake love
That I keep dreaming of
I call it Nancy, Nancy
It's something I need to drop
I know enough's enough
Must let go of this fantasy

Oh goodbye, Nancy
Had you once, had you twice, but I couldn't keep you by me
The idea of you is something I fancy
But it's also something that I leave behind me

When I was in school
I was surrounded by fools
Thinking sex is what made you a man
Now that all of that's over
I learned that shit doesn't matter
What I remember is her and our romance

But since she died
With that feeling inside
A feeling I now call Nancy, Nancy
Since then it's only ever a thought
A story with a plot
Must let go of make believe, make it leave

Oh goodbye, Nancy
Had you once, had you twice, but I couldn't keep you by me
I wish we were dancing
The thought of it makes me want to cry and sing

I know I'll have to bury you, there's a lot of burying I'll have to do
This grief is now a part of me, it changes me
Found my childhood dead on the floor
There's no love anymore
Where's my brother
I want this to be finality

Oh goodbye, Nancy
I know you can't hear me
And you look down tonight
But god knows you'll be alright
Oh goodbye, Nancy

Oh goodbye, Nancy
If only you weren't just a memory
I remember you too clearly
Aspirations, love, and friends
And my purity
Oh goodbye, Nancy
I know you're not near me
And I know it may never be, but what if someday I relive our story
No, goodbye Nancy

If this is what love does to you then love is for masochistic fools
And I miss the boy I was yesterday, but yesterday is now years away
I'm hiding, hiding, go away
