Goodbye

The days since
have been dense
Rocky mountains we have gone through
but I'll always want to be with you
The dark days were among us
there is no need to make a fuss
Being friends just became too hard
this broken heart will always be scarred
Is this goodbye?
for I must cry
A million tears to rest aside
for us I have always tried
To make everything better
so I wrote you a letter
Maybe you would remember to smile
even just for a little while
The world I would give
or my life, yes, the one I live

To see the twinkle in your eyes
the smile with no goodbyes

This life you have disappeared from
leaving no sign, leaving no bread crumb
So now, thick in the gloomy woods of despair, I'm lost
I had no idea , no clue, what the distance would cost
My future with you, yes, that's what's now gone
now they say it's always darkest before the dawn
Forever darkness is now what I'm living in
all hope is gone, now no one will ever win
The happiness we all long for
is now gone forever no more
Maybe for you but not for me
in this despair I'll always be

Rocking myself in the corner of a dark room
no more light, hope or love all that's left is gloom

Doomed and cursed with bittersweet love, I am
now knowing, realizing love is just a painful scam
Isolation without loneliness, yes, that is my fate
knowing nothing but this heart full of hate
A sweet numb feeling washes over me
like smooth satin falling quickly free
From all the worldly binds
that we all come to find
Letting go, sometimes it's the hardest thing
but I just keep thinking how much relief it would bring

Letting go of everything dear to me
this world, this life I wish to flee

Forever this is goodbye
in my heart I will cry
Slipping away, letting go
and now sorrow may show
And suddenly like a comet flies across the sky
you come back into my life and I ask you, "why?"
Why now when there is no more hope
but maybe your back to help me cope
This is another chance
kind of like another dance
Where being friends might not be so bad
to have you back in my life I am so glad

Having you be here for me
as true love is meant to be

You're here in my life but this is still goodbye
farewell to the love that was shared now fly
Soar to a peaceful place where you may rest
until it is time for the love which with I will be blessed
Fly away sweet love that was once held so greatly dear
adieu, my beloved, alas for love deceased I shed my last tear
