Goodbye, A Sweet Sorrow

with excerpts from Michelle Branch’s Goodbye To You

“Of all the things I believed in
I just wanna get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes but I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by.”

I showed them my smiles
In those last days
I never showed the nights
When the rain fell

“Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You are the one I love
The one thing that I tried to hold on to…”

This is truly goodbye
To all the special love
I tried to hold on for long
But the grip wasn’t strong enough

“It hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want what’s yours and I want what’s mine
I need you but I’m not giving in this time…”

It is all or nothing
My heart, my inspiration, my passion
I want them all and need them all
I offer them now for sacrifice

“When the stars fall
I will lie awake
You’re my shooting star…”

Goodbye
I’d no more tears to cry
Just ink to spread out
I love you that it hurts…
