It's Only Goodbye

Strange though we made it, in those days that were bare
What pulled us through them, something was there
I can remember, drifting apart
Thoughtless ways much stronger
As the time grew longer
One for one not always
Then you said to me
It's only goodbye, a smile and a cry, and suddenly over, when
I think of you know, in kindness allow. My memory lingers, then
It's only goodbye, my strength telling lies
Just facing what had to be
Mixed my reflections, did we think it was real
Was it forever, fear not, just feel
You had your troubles, yes I had mine
Weren't we both for sharing, no not really caring
I would realize that, when you said to me
It's only goodbye, a smile and a cry, and suddenly over, when
I think of you know, in kindness allow. My memory lingers, then
It's only goodbye, my strength telling lies
Just facing what had to be
It's only goodbye
