How Do I Say Goodbye

How do i say goodbye to the one who helped me believe when all others walked away But you and I have grown our seperate ways you don't understand where I'm going and I'm too far gone to stay half hearted smiles and silence in the dark we are nothing but shadows playing at love for a lark so soon we'll say our goodbyes and quietly pack our things promising to stay in touch but both knowing what the future brings maybe a few phone calls and messages with no reply but in awhile we will be invisible in each others eyes so a hug and a kiss for the short time we have left we both made mistakes but remember no regretts for tonight i'll lay beside you and pretend it doesn't hurt I don't want to part enemies but staying together would be worse you don't understand where my life is going I never meant to be leaving you behind you always had your freedom now's the time that I gained mine so tonight while you slumber remember in your heart I never meant to hurt you this is tearing me apart
