lyrics

Well, now that it’s all over there’s one thing to do.
Say goodbye, say goodbye.
Give yourself some credit where credit’s due.
That’s a lie. Oh, what a lie!

‘Cause you don’t care about the money.
You don’t care about the good stuff.
You just wanna be the winner,
And you wanna fuckin’ look tough.
I was always on the outside, a victim of the old lie.
But it’s the way you look tonight.
So goodbye, Velvet Eyes, Velvet Eyes!
Goodbye, Velvet Eyes. Velvet Eyes!

If you could only see that you are empty too,
We’d be fine. [Yup!] We'd be fine.
It’s only raw emotion I receive from you.
Fight or die! [right?] Fight or die!

‘Cause you don’t care about the money.
You don’t care about the good stuff.
You just wanna be the winner,
And you wanna fuckin’ look tough.
I was always on the outside, just a victim of an old lie.
But it’s the way you get a ride!
So goodbye, Velvet Eyes, Velvet Eyes!
Goodbye, Velvet Eyes. Velvet Eyes!

[Oh damn. What is it Jake? What a heck of a day it's been. Oh that's crazy!]

Goodbye, Velvet Eyes. Velvet Eyes!
Goodbye, Velvet Eyes. Velvet Eyes!
[Come on!]
Goodbye, Velvet Eyes. Velvet Eyes!
Goodbye, Velvet Eyes. Velvet Eyes!
