The Last Goodbye

The tears keep flowing down my face There's a hole in my heart that took your place I don't know what happened, it was over so fast I was hoping and praying this feeling would last You walked away without a single look back You took all colors from my life and left only black When we began, I never knew there would be an end I've thought about writing letters I would never send But I know they would be left unread I keep remembering all we did and everything you said There was never any promises spoken Nothing but my heart was broken I can still see you as you walked away My heart was breaking but I wouldn't beg you to stay I can still hear your voice and feel your arms around me I wanted you here, but I knew you had to be free I don't know if the pain that you caused will ever fade Or if I will ever forget the memories we made I look up into the night sky and see the stars I realize then that I will have to love you from afar I truly doubt you will ever feel the same We started a fire and I alone am left to put out the flame I thought we had a love so clean and pure You left me with heartache and you're the only cure I try not to think of you holding another When I want so badly for us to be together I have never felt so lost and alone I wish I could have a heart of solid stone I lay awake and listen to the falling rain I'm not sure I will be able to survive this pain I wish you could just walk up and say a simple hello But I seem to be destined for a heart that is hollow We could have made together, a wonderful life But instead you stabbed me in the heart with a knife I can still taste your name on my lips I try not to reach for you with my fingertips I was hoping that you could have been my soul mate But I guess it was not meant to be,it was not my fate I have no idea how I fell for you so fast and hard Or even imagine how I was so easy for you to discard I try not to show you the tears I cry Or let you know I wish I could curl up and die How will life ever again seem worthwhile I don't remember how to smile I try to put on a show and be brave But it's so very hard when it's only you I crave I know you don't love me, I can see it in your eyes And I know there is no point in asking you why I just want you to know that you'll always carry a piece of me No matter where you go or where you may be Just let me be with these tears I cry I guess this is truly the last goodbye
