A Shadow of Goodbye
A look from a stranger
a cry from a lost friend
no one saw it coming
no one until the end.
Everyone was happy
everyone cried
I guess when its time
we have to say goodbye.
My eyes filled with tears
as you turn and walk away
hoping you might think of me
someday.
I left with my head messed up
and my hopes down the drain.
You wanted me happy
guess we couldn't be the same
The last time I saw you
was the last time I cried
I left without breathing
A shadow of goodbye.
