Good evening, sir.
I have both good news and bad news.
What do you want to hear first?
But before you open your mouth
And give me an excuse
To strike you down
With a bright lighting bolt,
Let's just say that before you choose,
You should know that either way you lose.
It's a tough choice, I know.
But that's how it goes.
"Well if I have to know today,
Give me the good news first."
The good news is that it's the end of the line,
And all things heal with time, so just let go.
The bad news is that while time heals all wounds,
It will eventually be the thing that kills you.
Look, I know
I can't live my life without eventually trusting
In something bigger.
It's just so hard
For me to let things go,
Even though I know it's beyond my control.
It's a tough choice, I know.
But that's how it goes.
"Well if I have to know today,
Give me the good news first."
The good news is that it's the end of the line,
And all things heal with time, so just let go.
The bad news is that while time heals all wounds,
It will eventually be the thing that kills you.
And what's so wrong with that?
Living forever is overrated.
And after we take the first step towards
Forgiving ourselves,
You know what happens?
We're never the same.
No, never again.
It's a tough choice, I know.
But that's how it goes.
"Well if I have to know today,
Give me the good news first."
The good news is that it's the end of the line,
And all things heal with time, so just let go. [Repeat x2]
The bad news is that while time heals all wounds,
It will eventually be the thing that kills you.
And what's so wrong with that?
Living forever is overrated.
And after we take the first step towards
Forgiving ourselves,
You know what happens?
We're never the same.
No, never again.
