Farewell to you
Farewell to you
I gave you my love
I gave you my heart
I gave you my trust
You tore me apart
You tossed me aside
When things got tough
You decided to hide
When things got to rough
You decided it’s better to run
Instead of staying together
You thought going away was the answer
Did you think of the future?
Did you consider what you were
Throwing away, just casting aside
When you decided to hurt
to destroy, by running to hide
Now it’s far too late
For a love, once whole, now broken
For love once thought to be fate
For words of love left unspoken
Time heals all hurts
So they always say
But nothing can seem to erase
This emptiness that will always remain.
To say good bye to us
So formally, so very cold
So business like with no fuss
To treat it as if it had grown old
At the end of the day
I guess it had slowly faded to gone
Effortlessly diminished, drained, gone
Good bye sweet love good bye
