Predators from Micronations by Andrew Howie

Tell me how you're gonna get
Through another afternoon
With whispered voices baying for your blood

For once please turn the TV off
Our battered brains have had enough
Of being wired for predators and flood

Don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye

Hummingbirds and sinking ships
Can't justify the things you did
You need more from this life than I can give

I used to think that I could be
The one to wake you from your sleep
But now I only seem to be your worst and closest enemy
Your nemesis, your necessary foe

Don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye

With my head safe on your shoulder
As you hummed don't dream it's over
I thought this love was bulletproof
But now you're sleeping on the camp bed
And my chest is full of lead
I'm sinking slowly out of view / you

Don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye
