Goodbye
It's so much better to say hello than goodbye.
It's so much safer to quit than to try.
What obstacles lie ahead;
What pain is in store when all is quiet?
Contemplating a way to be,
To be the very best of me.
Hoping a past subject will arise
And take you over by surprise
Where you'll miss me so much
And you'll want my touch.
But you know you must do
What you think is expected of you
So you sit in your room
Waiting for the boom
The boom of a trigger heart
Tearing you apart.
And I hope you'll miss me so much,
And you'd need my touch
But you know it's your time
To come to me and say goodbye.
Don't you know, I scream in my sleep too?
Don't you know, I feel just about the same as you?
That's why it's so much easier when you say hello
To just turn around and go
Because I don't wanna tell you goodbye
I can't even try.
I know I'll miss you so much
I'll yearn for your touch
And I sit in my room
Waiting for the doom
The day we say our sweet goodbye
You don't cry and neither will I.
I'll smile as before
See you to the door
Kiss you one last time
As we say goodbye
And the marching feet
That surrounds your new meet
The drill sergeant calling
No longer falling...
