Never Good With Good-Bye

I found some old pictures of us that I thought were lost.
In an old book called memories that you had bought.
I remember your smile the day you gave it to me.
You said we’d make our own book like that for the world to see. 
It wasn’t long after that when you had left.
It’s a book that will never get finished that I must accept.
I would let it find its way back to you if I knew where it could be sent.
Cleaning out our past has left me exhausted with my mind spent.

No I’ve never been good with good-bye.
So glad that the night can conceal the pain in my eyes.
Wish I could give you back your life and your last breath.
So I could tell you so many feelings that I have that I need to express.
No I’ve never been good with good-bye.
Sitting alone by this fire here tonight.
I can’t find reason to why you were taken from my side.
I know like the angel you are you have taken flight.
Just here hoping you hear my broken good-bye.

I love how you haunt me when I’m sleeping.
Yet when I wake my heart is once again left to bleed.
Your voice sings as I sit back and watch us on old videos.
I’ve been crawling  these walls thinking of how to let you go.
I put the scent of your perfume on our bed once again.
I know at some point soon this will have to end.
There is no question that in my heart your memory will never die.
I’ve just never been good with saying good-bye.

No I’ve never been good with good-bye.
So glad the night can conceal the pain in my eyes…..
