She loved him deeply,
With a fire in her heart.
But he put out the flame,
And left her in the dark.
He loved her sweetly,
With a love she’d never known.
But she couldn’t love herself,
So she left him on his own.
All that time,
Just to say goodbye.
Now she feels like her heart is ripping out of her chest,
Why?
She gave him everything she had when nothing was left,
Why?
Did they let it slip out of their hands,
Into the cold, dark night
Please, don’t say goodbye.
He watched her pass by,
His regret overflowed.
All the words are on his lips,
But he’ll never let them go.
She walked right by him,
Had to fight herself all the way.
Holding back all the things,
That he’ll never let her say.
All that time,
Just to say goodbye.
Now she feels like her heart is ripping out of her chest,
Why?
She gave him everything she had when nothing was left,
Why?
Did they let it slip out of their hands,
Into the cold, dark night
Please, don’t say goodbye.
She’s drowning in an ocean of her tears,
She can’t seem to come up for air.
Their love dulled the light of every star in the sky,
Why?
Now the stars are all that’s left and she’s no choice but to cry,
Why? But why,
Did they let it slip out of their hands,
Into the cold, dark night
Please, don’t say goodbye.
