Saying So Long

I can’t believe you took that step, I didn’t think you would cross that line. Now you’re the only one left, Who will be the one left behind. I can’t figure out why. Now I can’t even reach out, For now you’re too far gone. When you gave back into temptation, That’s when it all went wrong. To an old friend now I must say so long. No there’s nothing left to say, In how you parted ways. Then all the sudden you were gone, Faded away into the night. You gave up all your hope, You gave up all your rights. You left us with no choice, No you never cared to hear our voice. Now we can’t go on with you in our life, As you let us be your sacrifice. I wonder when you lost your light. No use in picking up the pieces, Left scattered on the floor. You lived through so many empty seasons, What else were you looking for? Trying to hide behind glass doors. Then you got to the edge, You didn’t even want to look down. That’s when you just jumped right in, To where you could now never be found. We never did hear a sound. When I think of you, All I can think of is all you have missed. I just can’t comprehend it. If I could it would be such a granted wish. Time has now passed by, From where you are can you see how we’ve had to move on? Now somewhere your dust in eternity. When you should have just come along. To an old friend I must say so long…
