[Verse 1]
My world caught fire, you're the one who lit the spark
Now I'm playing with matches all alone here in the dark
I had to learn the hard way that salvation has its price
But I'll never forgive myself that you were the sacrifice

[Chorus]
And I can't bring myself to say goodbye
I walk with my head up, say I'm fine but that's a lie
Your face will always haunt me, it's my comfort and my curse
And I can't imagine any feeling could be worse than this goodbye

[Verse 2]
Some days the guilt inside becomes too much to bear
I stopped seeking redemption, I don't have the will to care
I know I should be stronger 'cause I think that's what you'd want
You'd be so ashamed if you could see the nothing I've become

[Chorus]
And I can't bring myself to say goodbye
I walk with my head up, say I'm fine but that's a lie
Your face will always haunt me, it's my comfort and my curse
And I can't imagine any feeling could be worse than this goodbye

[Bridge]
And I'm so sorry that I couldn't save you
I gladly would have taken your place
I wanted to always protect you
But I broke every promise I made
Please don't leave me
[Chorus]
'Cause I can't bring myself to say goodbye
I walk with my head up, say I'm fine but that's a lie
Your face will always haunt me, it's my comfort and my curse
And I can't imagine any feeling could be worse than this goodbye
This goodbye
