Afraid of goodbye
Chained to the wall
with a necklace of silver
Hung out to dry
on the first rainy day
Push comes to shove,
it's been waiting forever
Here at the end,
I've got something to say
Where did you go,
when the sun painted April
Leaving behind,
every kiss you had blown
Feeling the squeeze
and it felt, quite amazing
Night after night
as I lie there alone
Singing like Pink,
in a female impression
Wondering why
every song sounds the same
I like the words,
matters not what they're meaning
Duets dissolve,
though she is not to blame
Soaring the skies
that were awkward, but friendly
Hiding the truth
in a small cardboard pack
Now it does come,
many years past the deadline
Oh how I wish
it was time to go back
Yet here we are,
like two peas in a salad
So hard to see,
being tossed in the crowd
Smiling inside,
while the other is reading
Silencing thoughts
that were once said out loud
Still, it's too late,
though the memories linger
Now I can live,
when it's my turn to die
Dreams have come true,
better late, well, than never
Saying hello,
still afraid of goodbye
