The Way I Say Goodbye

(album: War Within - 2023)

This is the way I say goodbye

I could fight on, weather the storm
Wipe the wind-driven rain from my eyes
Fall to my knees, beg for release
Just succumb to the shadows inside
I'd rather make just like a comet tail
Shed the skin and lift the veil
Fling me out into the unknown
But I won't go alone

I'm telling you
Maybe I'm weak, maybe I'm wrong
Or maybe was never the question at all
Maybe it's time to leave the past behind
And this is the way I say goodbye

I could slam doors but much like the sword
I just fall on the words that I say
I could shake hands, bring water to sand
But the seasons, they still never change
I don't feel the need to compromise
Cross the Ts and dot the Is
Fling me out into the unknown
I won't go alone

I'm telling you
Maybe I'm weak, maybe I'm wrong
Or maybe was never the question at all
Maybe it's time to leave the past behind
And this is the way I say goodbye
Oh-oh-oh-oh

I don't feel the need to compromise
Cross the Ts and dot the Is
Fling me out into the unknown
I can't go on

I'm telling you
Maybe I'm weak, maybe I'm wrong
Or maybe was never the question at all
Maybe it's time to leave the past behind
I'm telling you, oh
Maybe I'm weak, maybe I'm wrong
Or maybe was never the question at all
Maybe it's time to leave the past behind
And this is the way I say goodbye

Oh-oh, oh
Send me out alone
Fling me out into the unknown
