If I Could Say Goodbye
If I could say goodbye to everything,
The first thing that I’d do
Is say goodbye to all the pain
That ripped me right into.
I’d watch and wave as it floats away,
While every tear I’ve ever cried
Is carried down a winding river
Flowing to the other side.
The memories that torment me
Every day and every night
Would be gone into eternity
And I wouldn’t have to fight.
The fight is what’s making it
Hard to even breathe
The heavy chest and gasps for air-
A daily thing for me.
I try so hard to be okay,
I swear to God I do...
But I know it’s not enough
To bring me back to you.
Don’t worry though, I won’t give up.
And here’s the reason why,
I couldn’t bring this pain to you
If I really were to say goodbye.
