Goodbye

My life is torn between two worlds
Of now and used to be
But all I ever wanted 
Was the world of you and me

Memories of the only love 
That I have ever known
It’s hard to hold them in my heart
But hard to let them go

At times I wonder who I am
Where did I go wrong 
Why am I so lonely 
In a life I don’t belong

I'm learning how to breath 
Without your name
How to love myself 
Through all this pain

If letting go 
Is the only way I'm free
I need to say goodbye to you
And live again for me

I know my heart will never heal
While feeling so much pain
I’ll never find the sunshine 
While I’m following the rain

Too late now for miracles
They wouldn’t change a thing
For someone else’s finger
Now wears your wedding ring

But though our song has ended
You still want us to dance
And though I’m still in love with you
My heart can't take the chance

Forever I will miss you
And forever I will cry, but
To find myself again
I know I have to say goodbye..
