JAMES T. ADAIR - Goodbye

Goodbye
is something we sadly say
when we know we cannot make the one we love smile
When we know we will only complicate their life
when silence replaces hello

Goodbye
is not in my heart
never could roll off my tongue
is not in my soul

Goodbye
is when we just don't fit
when we're misunderstood
when we're not good enough
when heartbreak feels so rough

Goodbye
pulls at a heart
Makes it turn dark and hopeless
only tears
lonliness absolute

Goodbye
is the word we dread
felt if not voiced or said
when we immagined and dreamed
and our hearts held so much hope
so much, it seemed

Goodbye
we hope is not the truth
we know goodbye
is the sound of our heart breaking
but we cannot say
Goodbye
