Goodbye

It's been four years since then.
Let me reword this melancholic story in lines and verses.
'Cause before seven ends, every story that has been told will fade into oblivion.

We used to be something surreal
Others looked to us for what we built
We were envied until the point in which we fell by the wayside,
And slowly watched ourselves die
When the walls cave in, we only have ourselves to blame

I can't pretend that everything is still okay
Until you rightfully say what you said the night you left me here for dead
I had you know I'm scared to death
That everything that you had said to me was just a lie until you left
Then I hoped just a little bit stronger to hold me up just a little bit longer
I'll been fine, I swear
I've just gone beyond repair

The hardest part is letting go
'Cause nothing feels like home, you're a thousand miles away
And the hardest part of living is just taking breaths to stay
So why'd you have to go?
Is there something I could say to make you turn around?
'Cause honestly I have been begging for answers
That you and only you can give to me

We were just kids in love
The summer was full of mistakes we wouldn't learn from
The first kiss stole the breath from my lips
So why did the last one tear us apart?
And I just can't believe this happened
And I finally broke down
Tell me that it's worth it
'Cause I'm doing all I can to fight it
And I've never been this scared
And my moment's finally here
So baby be honest is this what you wanted?
We lost what we started and found out much more than we want to know
About how we're letting go

I turn the pages everyday just to change the mood
But every chapter reads the same
So hard to make it through
You'll be the reason, I'll be uneven
You've got me on the edge to jump for you
Oh can you tell, I haven't slept very well
Since the last time that we spoke, you said
"Please understand if I see you again don't even say hello."
All the love's still there I just don't know what to do with it now
How will you find yourself when your hand to hold is letting go
How will you tell yourself you're losing hope
And celebrate how empty love can be broken

I don't know if I'll ever be the same
It's hard to think when losing someone only makes you wanna scream
And now that you're gone,
I've been spending every second wishing I could disappear
And I'm close when it's hurting bad, it only gets worse

I've broken every rule that I've known
Since you told me that I've got to have passion
And I'd love to make it right, but there are things I can't control
But I'm close, when it's over tell me when to let go
The words are coming I feel terrible
Is it typical for us to end like this?
Am I just another scene
From a movie that you've seen 100 times?
'Cause baby you weren't the first or the last or the worst
And I've got to fill the blanks in the past with a verse

Oh, but everybody knows this is the part
Of breaking down in anybody's arms
And then I fell into pieces and he fell into me
Saying, "Play me a song. It's been too long since I've heard you sing."
You got here just in time to let me know I was worth saving
It's nothing more than for the heart
But I'm too scared to say the things worth saying
Who knew this trip would be this hard?
I could stand here for hours
Just to ask God the question, "Is everyone here make-believe?"

And you asked me
Can we just start over again
Tell me how could I forget
That you've left me alone while you are lost in outer space
Were you honest with yourself, every version of yourself?
Did you get lost on the side of the road?
You gave me the time of my life and it cut like a knife to the bone
If your heart is true then I'll be with you
'Cause we both know I loved you more

And yeah, we all fall to pieces
But at least you fell to me
But this is a wrong night
So tell me goodnight and let it go
I'm starting over won't you pull it back together for me
I admire the desire that comes out of your mouth
You're always saying that you've got it all figured out
And now you wanna talk, so fitting
I remember times, when you were holding by a thread of a chance

And here's to the new version of us
Tell me that you're alright
Why do we fight sometimes
Just like we always do
But can I have one second of your time
When you were at the top of my list, I promised you
That this wouldn't happen, how do I begin to explain
All you need is time

Now even if it's perfect, I can't get carried away
And motivate my tongue in twisted ways
Maybe it will all work out like in the movies
But I know Romeo must die before the ending
With a final poison kiss delivered gently
Because you don't get lucky twice, and that's the truth
I'll be okay, I could go on for days
But I just don't have the courage that it takes to be real

No, it's not supposed to hurt this much
But when someone slowly breaks it off
It tends to leave a bitter taste
A scar, that slowly rips apart
I've had enough but it's all for the best
I need to get a few things off my chest
There's got to be another way I can say it
But to get it right, I have to think straight

Let's drink to memories we shared
Down one to all the hopes and cares
Here's two for being unaware that you're gone
Because before too long you'll be a memory
And I promise I'll be just as strong as I can be
Maybe you could get some sleep tonight

Don't cry, I know you're trying your hardest
Some things will never change
Someday I'll fly away, countdown from ten for a brand new day
This year is over and I'm feeling like a rolling stone
One mistake at a time
Until you learn to keep it all condensed and buried deep inside
It hurts a little at first but it gets better in time
I should have been your everything
I'm now at the end of my eternity
And I will sleep to have the darkest dreams
This just won't seem right to me
I close my eyes and beg for peace

I don't know if I'll ever make this right
Cause I am just so broken by the bitterness of loneliness
And I'm so scared of this
Well I'm thinking of the worst things that I could say to you
But a promise doesn't mean a thing anymore
And this never will be right with meI could only sing you sad songs
And you could sing along
And you could see the melody that's been calling out your wrongs
These words were never easier for me to say
Save your heart
For someone that's worth dying for
Don't give it away torn apart
Never getting what you've been crying for
It's always the same
Just try and get up
You gotta slowly brush off
I know that words aren't enough
But you're better than this
Keep your heart open wide
Save it for somebody who cares
And I'll be your memories

Sleep well, my friend
There will be another moment we'll meet again
Just let it go
Sleep well, goodnight
You're something to remember
May I say I loved you more?
