Stopping Goodbye

Posted by: Gretta on: November 1, 2008

Don’t know if I’m alive
And I don’t know what to do,
So maybe I’ll crawl into bed,
And dream of you.
Making up our very own happy ending,
And wondering why dreams can’t come true.

There are so many ways
This could have gone,
I still don’t know just where
We went wrong,
It’s harder to think as I turn out the light,
What happened to the melody of our love song?

I can’t help but wonder why,
You didn’t even try,
And I wish you could hear me cry,
Maybe I, maybe I
Could have changed your mind,
Could I have stopped goodbye?
Could I have stopped goodbye?

Wonder what you’re thinking now,
Wish I could read your mind,
You say it’s for the best, but
I hope you’re lying.
Maybe someday you’ll come back again,
I hope I’m waiting there with a smile.

I wish I could have seen
The challenges we faced,
Was I blind, or did you just
Keep them locked away?
What could I have done,
What could I have saved?
I’m dying here at night,
And surviving day by day.

I can’t help but wonder why,
You didn’t even try,
And I wish you could hear me cry,
Maybe I, maybe I
Could have changed your mind,
Could I have stopped goodbye?
If I’d tried a little harder, if I’d tried,
Could I have stopped goodbye?
Stopped goodbye…
Goodbye.
