"Goodbye"

"I wish I could take back what I've done;

Now in my eyes there shines no sun.

There is no light to be found in them;

Your love was like the purest gem.

I've thought of you every single day

Since I saw you slip away.

That was a very unfortunate way

For us to say, "Goodbye."

I long to see your face,

I long to find a sign,

I long to find a trace,

To see if you were mine.

Come back to me, my love

Come back to me, my dear

Come back to me now

Please, come back here.

I need you more than ever,

Please come back to stay.

Stay with me forever,

Don't ever fade away.

I've dreamt of you every night

Since last I saw your face.

I can't seem to do anything right;

Help me in this forsaken place.

It's never felt like home

Without you simply there.

I can never seem to rest

Nor do I even care.

Please, don't leave me here.

Please, don't leave me behind.

Please, don't go anywhere.

At least tell me I was on your mind.

Please cure this pain.

Please take it all away.

Please, I'm no longer sane.

Please help me here and stay.

Help me in this fight!

Please stay with me tonight!

Nothing at all feels right!

Don't leave me out of sight!

Don't go where I can't follow.

My heart has grown so hollow.

You've left me trapped alone.

It's you I wished to own.

All laughter in me is gone

As I await the dreadful dawn.

Your face is pale and cold

As your grip on my hand unfolds."

I've thought of you every single day

Since I watched you fade away.

That was a very painful way

For us to say, "Goodbye."
