Yeah, I got this thinkin' in my head
Yeah, you wanna say the things not said

What's the reason?

Don't really care if you leave
Just wanna see you beaten
Don't really care if you grieve
Don't really need a reason

Hey, goodbye
I wish you stayed here
I wish you were here

Yeah, I got this feelin' in my veins
Yeah, a helpless feeling mixed with pain

What's the meaning?

I just can't believe
That you're not really with me
I just can't believe
I wonder if you'll miss me

Hey, goodbye
I wish you stayed here
I wish you were here

    General Comment:Patrick fits the DeLeo brothers more than Weiland did, in my opinion. I hope they continue to collaborate, because they can have some success with a follow up album.

    Great stuff on this CD.

    General Comment:It's definitely about kicking something to the curb. Open-ended just like others have said, but there's definitely this bitter-sweet vibe to it. Ultimately, the person moves on, but still wonders about if it/they stayed around in their life.

    And yeah, it sounds awesome. Heard this single on the radio one day and I knew I wanted more. I bought the album and glad I did. Worth every penny. Great mix of talent here. Hope they make it out to my area someday for a show. :)

    General Comment:It's meant to be an open-ended song about loss in general. The first verse sounds more like a breakup and the second verse sounds more like a death or unintended separation. It's just an anthem for saying Goodbye. It's simple, to-the-point, and covers all bases.
