Goodbye to You

Today's tune is inspired by a phone call on Friday night. Guess I've gotten a lot further down the road than I've realised. Wondering what I would say... how much had been left unsaid and unanswered. But after a few harsh words aimed at me I simply hung up. Not even worth the effort.

So, all I really have to say is "Goodbye to You". Michelle Branch does a fantastic job of bringing a lot of emotion both hard and yet so gentle with this one. I've realised that there is no point in trying to explain just how much they may have hurt you mostly because words can't really do that but more importantly because they'll never know how it feels to truly love somebody.

How many years pretending?

Of all the things I believed in
I just want to get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by

I've been searching deep down in my soul
words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
It feels like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend
And I said...

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold onto

I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems that I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes
And you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light
But it's not right

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
Oh, woah

And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want what's yours and I want what's mine
I want you
But I'm not giving in this time

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything that I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold onto

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold onto
The one thing that I tried to hold onto

Oh Woah
And when the stars fall I will lie awake
You're my shooting star

Yeah, I know I've posted this one before, but sometimes you just need to repeat something to ensure it sinks in.
