Goodnight, Not Goodbye

does fate exist?

or is it just a curse

some people move on and some stay the same

i start to wonder which is worse

we follow different paths

with different lengths and different curves

i know there is a winning end

but why did you have to get there first

all i want is a reason

'cause i feel you're still alive

here with me, as i lie awake through the night

i'll say goodnight, but not goodbye

i'll say goodnight, but not goodbye

death is a burden on the soul

drowns you through the cold night

feelings of a dark, dark tunnel

with no light or end in sight

days go by and then the sun shines through

before hope, faith and courage die

but the pain still numbs my skin, the wounds scar

emptiness remains in my heart

all i want is a reason

'cause i feel you're still alive

here with me, as i lie awake wondering why???

i'll say goodnight, but not goodbye

i'll say goodnight, but not

it can't be

all the life, all the memories

leave only dust and ashes here with me

i watch you blow away

as tears stream down my face

all i want is a reason

'cause i feel you're still alive

here with me, as i lie awake wondering why???

all i want is a reason

'cause i know you're still alive

here with me, as i lie awake through the night

i'll say goodnight, but not goodbye

i'll say goodnight, but not goodbye
