Goodbye

Based on an emotional goodbye when I ended with my boyfriend.

I keep telling myself
That this is what I want
That this is what is best
But how can I pretend
That I want this to end?

I try to convince you
That this is the right thing
That this will make things better
But you can tell when I lie:
I can’t even look you in the eye

Chorus
Now I know why
It seems so hard to
Say goodbye
I’ve held your hand in mine
For all this time
And now I’ll never let go

I cling to you for comfort
You look into my eyes
You look into my soul
Then I can truly see
The damage that was caused by me

I am hurting too
I can feel the pain
I can feel your tears
There's no more I can say
I think this is the only way

Chorus

I'm sorry for what I've put you through
One day you'll understand
One day you'll forgive
Until there's a way for you and I
This is it, the end, this is goodbye
