Goodbyes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's so much I would say
If I could see you one last time
But now I can't cause you're not here
But you're always on my mind
When I look up and you're not there
When I lie awake at night
All these things I ask myself
I don't know why
(When it's the first time) when it's the first time that you'll never see someone again
(When it's the last time) when it's the last time and you weren't ready for it to end
(When a light leaves you) when a light leaves you standing along there in the dark
(It isn't never easy) they're never easy but sometimes goodbyes are so hard
They're so hard
I look ahead but can't move on
I look back but I can't stay
I keep trying to be strong
But this pain it won't go away
I hope this will heal in time
Cause I can't go on like this
Right now I would give my life
For one last kiss
(When it's the first time) when it's the first time that you'll never see someone again
(When it's the last time) when it's the last time and you weren't ready for it to end
(When a light leaves you) when a light leaves you standing along there in the dark
(It isn't never easy) they're never easy but sometimes goodbyes are so hard
You'll be there on my mind
Standing in the sunshine
(When it's the first time) when it's the first time that you'll never see someone again
(When it's the last time) when it's the last time and you weren't ready for it to end
(When a light leaves you) when a light leaves you standing along there in the dark
(It isn't never easy) they're never easy but sometimes goodbyes are so hard
They're so hard
