goodbye

Everyone has their someone who broke their heart
Everybody has their somebody who brought them to their knees
Bent so far they broke and stood straighter for it
Now only a crack of pain in varnished eyes
A holding back of heart and arms
I sing for those who lost first loves
For every time someone said "I'm not ready"
Who made us become those who are never ready
Still finger clinging on a cliff in the past
It's time to see for what it is fading into oblivion
The fog of memories engulf but the future's still bright
Hope paints the picture with life scenery
She was the one who missed you a thousand times a day until she said it's over, goodbye
Leaving you to crawl out a basement window at three in the morning and scream to the sky
He was the one who called you baby until he called one night to say I'm leaving, goodbye
While your desperation called for help as you fell far into a tangle that lasted far too long
She talked to you every night, made you think you had a change until you took it and she ignored it, forgot to say goodbye
He drove you around in his car, talking random facts and blasting the tunes, until after a year, there's another in your place, no goodbye
The music drows all out
Humming lights blind the pain
Until you learn to stand alone again
The world keeps moving and we all turn on
Carrying a part of the one who took your heart first, goodbye
