So Goodbye

By: Carl Copsey

There's a silence, slowly breaking
Burning through my soul
There's a fire, distantly raging
Longing for this part of me - kept unwhole

If I look back,
Will I see the reflections of my life disappear
Fading slowly,
Through the echoes of my longing fear

How can I face this world without you
You left me too soon
Take away the pain, take away the nights
Take away the fear I feel inside

I never had the chance to say goodbye
Can't you see me down on my knees
I know you hear me calling
Through each sullen tear, I'm yearning
For the chance - to feel you again

Where do we go to forget
When every dream dies at dawn
Within ths lesson, I've learned regret
And the meaning between weak and strong

If there is reason,
Within these clouds of grey
Guide me to the truth,
To a path I cannot stray

How can I find my world without you
With only traces of memory
I remember a life with no pain, when the nights were good
The only fear I had inside, is now understood

I never had the chance to say goodbye
Can't you see me down on my knees
I know you hear me calling
Through each sullen tear, I'm yearning
For the chance - to see you again

Frozen in a corner, the darkness closing around
Lit by one candle, my tears flowing down
I hear a whisper, riding on the wind
Was it you calling? God, please - let this end

How long before pain closes the door
It's too much to bear for this life I adore
No one hears my screams anymore
They only fade into the wind, and forever go unheard

I never had the chance to say goodbye
Desperate and lonely, crying for mercy
I know you must hear these words, I'm calling
Through each painful tear, I am yearning
For just one more chance -

I never had the chance to say goodbye...so goodbye
