I love you, Goodbye

I love you, but this is goodbye

I swear to remember the good times

I love you, but this is goodbye

I swear to remember



One random Tuesday night

One swipe right

Girl looking like a snack

Asked her “Could I get a bite”

Went out once to get dinner it was great

A ton of laughs, do I like this girl? I might

Single date turn twice, thrice

Then a number beyond site

On the same page, same pace, same strokes

From different folks

Read my mind, line for line

We’re the same you would write

We’d go out in the town obnoxious, weird

Loud and proud

I catch your eyes and the whole world would fade from focus

Time would stand still

Connection made of stone, my diamond so precious

Foolish and infatuated

Was our modus operandi

Thought about you every day, not one slipped by

How could we know the plan of the universe?

One day we’d both be saying three words

2 months, a few emotional bumps

Like a tough road got dark but that wasn’t enough

We’d stay together, though perhaps forever

No one could say different, not even my own mother

Decided to start a life with each other, plant a seed

Became to branches on the same oak tree

Both growing up but in different directions

When the water gets rough it’s hard to see your own reflection

I love you, but this is goodbye

I swear to remember the good times

I love you, but this is goodbye

I swear to remember





You were there for me the hardest day of my life

You were there for me the day my best friend died

Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks I cried

Every single moment you were there right by my side

I keep my head in the clouds, I could be closer to him

Told me he’d be proud

Life is tragic, this is not fin’

I heard it sometimes, you told me often

When facing problems

Remember you’re as tall as them

You can rise above

Detriment can never mend

Progress doesn’t always mean moving forward

Stepping back or sideways still takes courage

I was broken, and hopeless

Lost in life, without focus

Defeat on repeat, time after time

The others come a dozen for a dime

I wouldn’t be here without you

Kept me strong through days when I didn’t know what I might do

Kept me strong through nights when I thought my life was through

Gave me so much strength that I never knew what I took from you

Love is a two-lane road

But I was so intoxicated

Seein as my life as passion wasted and procrastination

That I was swerving across the dotted lines

I didn’t let you catch up and I didn’t know to look behind



I love you, but this is goodbye

I swear to remember the good times

I love you, but this is goodbye

I swear to remember



A year has passed

The many mistakes and beautiful memories are in the past

Said I was sorry

Said I would do better

Said I would try harder

Said I would love louder

But that didn’t last

Stay stood behind me

Kept your chin up, had hope for what might be

I started to question

What was I doing?

What could I be doing?

What should I be? Who could I be?

What am I? I am this why

Change began when? what happens then?

Is she the one? Are we done?

Is this still fun? What have I done…

I always run

Can’t see beauty when your mind is in the dark

Looking for yourself and a sense of control

Fighting through this life

With your blindside to the sidelines

Focused on one goal

We both had problems, mine at the top

Yours at the bottom, I never stopped

Only gave you solutions without soul

Thinking they would fit

Needed compassion but I didn’t want to deal with it

Gave you pats on the back and said to fire back

The world’s a battlefield you need to stay in the attack

Should’ve been my wife

Didn’t deserve to be your husband

Turns out I’m the dime in the dozen



I love you, but this is goodbye

I swear to remember the good times

I love you, but this is goodbye

I swear to remember

I love you, but this is goodbye

I swear to remember the good times

I love you, but this is goodbye

I swear to remember

(swear to remember)
