How To Say Goodbye

(album: All the Things I Say To Myself - 2021)

Don't say a word
Let the silence bend and curve
Around us like a barrier
That holds the hurt at bay
Time stands still
It keeps us both against our will
With gritted teeth and mouths that fill
With words we cannot say

So hold me closely
Tell me that we're gonna be fine
I don't know how to say goodbye
I don't know how to say goodbye
God knows why or how but
We are running out of time
And I don't know how to say goodbye
I don't know how to say goodbye

Part of me
Forevermore will always be
Quietly remembering
You underneath my breath

So hold me closely
Tell me that we're gonna be fine
I don't know how to say goodbye
I don't know how to say goodbye
God knows why or how but
We are running out of time
I don't know how to say goodbye
I don't know how to say goodbye

Oh, how much you meant to me
How much better my whole life will always be
I'm sorry but I can't find the words
To tell you how I feel

So hold me closely
Tell me that we're gonna be fine
Oh, I don't know how to say goodbye
God knows why or how but
We are running out of time, oh my
And I don't know how to say goodbye
I don't know how to say goodbye
I don't know how to say goodbye
I don't know how to say goodbye
