Goodbye

What do you know when you say
There is beauty in a broken heart
What do you know of the pain and the violence
Tears on a paper can pull at your heart strings
But can you really say you've seen the look inside those eyes

Are you ready now
Do we pull the plug
Do we stand, wish farewell as our boat sets sail
Hold my hand once more
Just for old times’ sake
Until the truth sets in

Could you stand it if you looked in my eyes
And never again saw
The tenderness I held inside. within
Could you be ok if never again
My lips would rest on yours
To draw out one collective breath of life

Are you ready now
Do we say goodbye
Lonely witnesses watching our boat depart
Is your mind made up
Have you closed the door
Did you cross the line

Is that hatred I see in your eyes
Is the pain that I cause unforgivable
Is the anger within us too great
Like a wave engulfing everything
Do we ride this train all the way
Right to the tragic end

Are you ready now
do we dive right in
Better swallow this bitter drink quickly
On the count of three
Last time you and me
One step taken no turning back

All pride has left me
No spite inside me
The reasons fail me
I’m so sorry
All pride has left me
No spite inside me
The reasons fail me
I’m so sorry, are you
