My Original Songs

Goodbye

I have to say goodbye

But that doesn't mean I'll leave you behind

We hold these memories

We hold them close to our hearts

So if you feel lonely

Or like you're falling in apart

Remember the smiles we all shared

Remember the laughs

They'll always be here

Walking down the halls I have to remember

It was here my very first September

I was five, or four, only two feet off the floor

Had one friend and she's gone now

I got three new ones and I'll make them proud

Here is a war zone I fight every day

But I'll find myself missing those fights in every way

I have to say goodbye

But that doesn't mean I'll leave you behind

We hold these memories

We hold them close to our hearts

So if you feel lonely

Or like you're falling in apart

Remember the smiles we all shared

Remember the laughs

They'll always be here

This place prepared me

This place made me happy

This place helped me

This place is my home away from home

And no matter how far I go

This place will always be my home

I have to say goodbye

But that doesn't mean I'll leave you behind

We hold these memories

We hold them close to our hearts

So if you feel lonely

Or like you're falling in apart

Remember the smiles we all shared

Remember the laughs

They'll always be here

In five years, maybe ten, or even twenty

This place and me will have changed plenty

Whether I'm in a chain store or on the big stage

Whether I'm drowning in cash or forced to save

I'll remember this place

I have to say goodbye

But that doesn't mean I'll leave you behind

We hold these memories

We hold them close to our hearts

So if you feel lonely

Or like you're falling in apart

Remember the smiles we all shared

Remember the laughs

They'll always be here
