My heart is paralyzed 00:14

My head was oversized 00:18

I'll take the high road like I should 00:21

00:26

You said, "It's meant to be 00:28

That it's not you, it's me" 00:31

You're leaving now for my own good 00:35

That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are, I'm gonna say 00:41

She went down in an airplane 00:44

Fried getting suntanned 00:46

Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand 00:48

Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes 00:51

She met a shark underwater 00:57

Fell and no one caught her 01:00

I returned everything I ever bought her 01:02

Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies 01:05

And ways to say you died 01:10

01:16

My pride still feels the sting 01:26

You were my everything 01:30

Someday I'll find a love like yours (a love like yours) 01:33

She'll think I'm Superman 01:40

Not super minivan 01:43

How could you leave on Yom Kippur? 01:47

That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are, I'm gonna say 01:53

She was caught in a mudslide 01:56

Eaten by a lion 01:58

Got run over by a crappy purple Scion 02:00

Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes 02:03

She dried up in the desert 02:10

Drowned in a hot tub 02:12

Danced to death at an east side nightclub 02:14

Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies 02:17

And ways to say you died 02:22

Ah-ah 02:27

Ah-ah 02:30

Oh-oh 02:34

I wanna live a thousand lives with you 02:37

I wanna be the one you're dying to love 02:41

But you don't want to 02:47

That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are, I'm gonna say 02:51

That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are, I'm gonna say 02:54

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

My heart is paralyzed

My head was oversized

I'll take the high road like I should

...

You said, "It's meant to be

That it's not you, it's me"

You're leaving now for my own good

That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are, I'm gonna say

She went down in an airplane

Fried getting suntanned

Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand

Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes

She met a shark underwater

Fell and no one caught her

I returned everything I ever bought her

Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies

And ways to say you died

...

My pride still feels the sting

You were my everything

Someday I'll find a love like yours (a love like yours)

She'll think I'm Superman

Not super minivan

How could you leave on Yom Kippur?

That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are, I'm gonna say

She was caught in a mudslide

Eaten by a lion

Got run over by a crappy purple Scion

Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes

She dried up in the desert

Drowned in a hot tub

Danced to death at an east side nightclub

Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies

And ways to say you died

Ah-ah

Oh-oh

I wanna live a thousand lives with you

I wanna be the one you're dying to love

But you don't want to

That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are, I'm gonna say

She went down in an airplane

Fried getting suntanned

Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand

Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes

She met a shark underwater

Fell and no one caught her

I returned everything I ever bought her

Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies

She was caught in a mudslide

Eaten by a lion

Got run over by a crappy purple Scion

Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes

She dried up in the desert

Drowned in a hot tub

Danced to death at an east side nightclub

Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies

And ways to say you died

...
