News of the girl that jumped off the building
to kill herself two day ago around here started making the news

A girl in her uniform covered in blood, an accused teacher
Suddenly it’s all become prey on the internet

“It’s dangerous so please stay back”
Seems that’s the cue for everyone to gather round

Those guys screwed around feverishly taking pictures like idiots
It’s too early to say anything about the blood spilled on the cold asphalt
The red was beautiful, it was beautiful

I cried
I cried
On the outside of the CRT television that knows nothing

She lived, lived, lived, lived
She lived, lived, and lived
Her last goodbye probably wasn’t to anyone else
but screaming goodbye to herself

The last tears she shed
Her red blood, the proof she lived
Swept up and taken away in two seconds by adults that don’t know anything
The DO NOT ENTER police tape
“I’ve only seen this on TV shows”
In the midst of words like that fluttering about
I wonder what she’s thinking
Far off, Far away

I want to cry
I want to cry
What must have been a long day is coming to an end

She lived, lived, lived, lived
She lived, lived, and lived
When something new is to begin
I wonder if I’ll want to disappear

Words like “Live the life you have now to the fullest”
are so simple.
She mustered her bravery with all her might and took to the sky
She became a bird and grasped the clouds
She became the wind and went far away
She embraced her hopes and leapt

She lived, lived, lived, lived
She lived, lived, and lived
When something new is to begin
I wonder if I’ll want to disappear

She lived, lived, lived, lived
She lived, lived, and lived
Her last goodbye probably wasn’t to anyone else
but screaming goodbye to herself

Goodbye, Goodbye
