Goodbye Evergreen Lyrics – Sufjan Stevens

[Verse 1]
Goodbye, Evergreen
You know I love you
But everything heaven sent
Must burn out in the end
I promised you
Just as you were in my dream
Now let me off easy
And I’ll slip down through the drain
To release my scattered brain
My enemy

[Verse 2]
Something just isn’t right
I cut from the inside
I’m frightened of the end
I’m drowning in my self-defense
Now punish me
Think of me as what you will
I grow like a cancer
I’m pressed out in the rain
Deliver me from the poisoned pain

[Interlude]
Goodbye evergreen, goodbye evergreen
(Goodbye evergreen) Goodbye evergreen
You know I love you (You know I love you)
You know I love you
Goodbye evergreen (Goodbye evergreen)
Goodbye evergreen
You know I love you (You know I love you)
You know I love you
(Goodbye evergreen) Goodbye evergreen
You know I love you (You know I love you)
You know I love you
(Goodbye evergreen) Goodbye evergreen
You know I love you (You know I love you)
You know I love you
Goodbye evergreen (Goodbye evergreen)
Goodbye evergreen
(You know I love you)

[Outro]
You know I love you
You know I love you

You know I love
