It's not enough to hear me say you've won
You only wanted me for having fun
But now I think you've gone and had your way
And left me with a pile of bills to pay

I can't even rewind the tape machine
To listen to your drunken reasoning
So here it is, your final lullaby

So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me, you're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight
Walk away from the door, walk away from my life
So goodnight

I've given up on social niceties
I threw 'em out when I threw out your keys
Along with all your records I can't stand
You never even listened to any one of them

You’re never gonna drag me out again
With all the people that were never ever even your friends
So here it is, your final lullaby

So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me, you're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight
Walk away from the door, walk away from my life

A little bit of rain I'd say is fair
But when it starts to thunder they all stare
This isn't goodnight, this is goodbye

So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me, you're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight
Walk away from the door, walk away from my life

So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me, you're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight
Walk away from the door, walk away from my life
So goodnight

    General Comment:well i kind of have a different opinion about this song. I think its about a guy whos girlfriend is and acoholic and a partier. And he feels like all she wants to go out and drink and party and he has to support them both (financially) "And left me with a pile of bills to pay)

    The chorus is just saying that hes had enough and her behaviour isn't cute, and he wants her to leave.

    Then hes talking about how hes given up being polite and putting up with her and he's thrown his manners out like he threw out her keyes (cuz she was drunk and couldn't drive) and hes not gonna go out with her and the drunken people she pretends are herfriends. "so here it is your final lullaby" is like this is the last time i am putting u to bed after u have passed out

    so ya thats what i think its about. I guy whos girlfriend has a severe drinking probelm and doesnt know how to handle it and doesn't want to put up with it anymore

    General Comment:hot hot heat are gods. thats the final word. this song is genius, it seems simple enough, but read the lyrics and wow, not at all. his girlfriend is an alcoholic caught up in the social scene. he doesn't want to be around that, this is an answering message left on her machine , him breaking up with her. teling her, your friends are fake, you embarass me, all that stuff. this could also be thought of as well, i've just heard this, hes going to , or had, killed her. " its not goodnight, this is goodbye", " this is your final lullaby" all that stuff. this song is so complex.

    General Comment:For those that mentioned that Steve Bays is hot. Well. I can't help it. But I have to mention; if you thought photos of him were hot, see him live cause it's so much better. He does this crazy thing with his tongue when he sings and. uhgghdfajsklrjeak
