Before The Goodbye
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.
Laying here in your arms and you hold me tight tight
Trying not to watch the clock
Tick, tickin as the time goes by
And I know that you best be on your way
But I'm wishin I could make you stay
Stay with me for a while
Though you're near
Still I want to make it clear
Love, I will always be around
You're leaving, I'm waiting, forgive me
I'm always missing you, before the goodbye
I feel it, already, forgive me
I'm always missing you, before the goodbye
Kind of hard for me to let you know
Cause I dont let my feelings show
How much I'll be missing you
All the little things that make me weak
Your eyes and the way you speak
Without you baby I'm not me
Though you're near
Still I want to make it clear
Love, I will always be around
You're leaving, I'm waiting, forgive me
I'm always missing you, before the goodbye
I feel it, already, forgive me
I'm always missing you, before the goodbye
You're leaving, I'm waiting, forgive me
I'm always missing you, before the goodbye
I feel it, already, forgive me
I'm always missing you, before the goodbye
You're leaving, I'm waiting, forgive me
I'm always missing you, before the goodbye
I feel it, already, forgive me
I'm always missing you, before the goodbye
You're leaving, I'm waiting, forgive me
I'm always missing you, before the goodbye
