Goodbye

Goodbye
©annalee

I don’t know why I allow myself to fall into these places
These pits of despair
I don’t know why I allow my heart to be stomped on
I feel sad
I feel sad for the loss.
For the friendship that came and fizzled away.

I feel sad for goodbyes,
where I had carved a place for you
in my heart which is now left empty.
I feel sad for all the words that won’t be,
lazy afternoons just you and me.

Would I take back those words?
I don’t know, I couldn’t lie
and now I feel I’m left with heart in my hands
And now I am lost
No where I can be
that is safe anymore.

I feel sad that gave too much of myself away, and I can’t recoup.
I feel sad that I can’t walk the fine line of emotions
That I gave more than I wished and I can’t get that back
I feel sad at my vulnerability
At how exposed you made me feel
That I let you make me feel

I feel sad that I will miss you,
I had only started to get comfortable
and now an ache
I feel sad that I gave a part of me that I never intended to give,
I was never great at boundaries

Would I take back those words?
I don’t know, I couldn’t lie
and now I feel I’m left with my heart in my hands
And now I am lost
No where I can be
that is safe anymore

I feel sad that I gave too much of myself
that I can’t get back
I feel sad that I can’t walk the
fine line of emotions
I feel sad at my vulnerability
At how exposed you made me feel
That I let you make me feel

I feel sad that I will miss you
You started to feel like home
and now I ache
I feel sad that I gave you a part
I never intended to give
I never knew the boundaries

[verse 4]
I feel sad for the absence
where you filled that space
The place we once laughed
now cold and empty
And now I must go on
with your memory

Would I take back those words?
I don’t know, I couldn’t lie
and now I feel I’m left with my heart in my hands
now I am lost
No where I can be
that is safe anymore

I feel sad that I gave too much of myself
that I can’t get back
I feel sad that I can’t walk the
fine line of emotions
I feel sad at my vulnerability
At how exposed you made me feel
That I let you make me feel

oh oh oh this is goodbye
oh oh oh this is goodbye
oh oh oh this is goodbye
