This Isn't Goodbye Forever

/--- Intro / 0:02 ---/

It's funny

How certain memories stay with you

/--- 0:07 ---/

They become more vivid

They haunt you, a reoccurring nightmare that you just want to leave

 

 

/--- Verse 1 / 0:13 ---/

The last words she said to me was "this isn't goodbye forever"

Since that day I've wondered if those words were for me

Or if they were for her

She turned to the bus and walked away

She turned to the bus, I let her walk away

/--- 0:25 ---/

The bus drove away, not even a wave

I could feel the tsunami inside my eyes the emotion wave

But I suppressed it, like the bad boy I think I am

I'm in her city for the night might as well make the most of it

/--- 0:39 ---/

When I was with her in this city we'd make the worst of it

But there was a time where it was effortless

Top shelf affection

Mutual respect

Now if I ever saw you again I'd probably twist your neck

/--- 0:52 ---/

Jesus

All this time I thought it was her

Or at the very least it was the two of us

Now I'm standing in this puddle as the taxis drive by

Realizing this whole time it was my life

 

 

/--- Hook / 1:06 ---/

It wasn't her

It wasn't us

It was me, I can admit it

I'll become a stronger man because of it

 

 

/--- Bridge 1 / 1:19 ---/

Had a long honest conversation with myself

It lasted about 3 years

Most of it I wasn't listening

But once I did I started to hear the words

Her words

My mother's words

My brother's words

The man they call "God" himself

I myself

All around me

 

 

/--- Verse 2 / 1:32 ---/

Every where I look now I see the message written clearly

I only checked your Facebook twice, yearly

To make myself feel bad for the chump your with

You always talked about him to me, saying he was just a friend

/--- 1:45 ---/

There was a shine in your face when you would speak his name

And since I didn't change now it's with him that you lay

Al vida zein, it's peace that I make

And I'll summon the strength to not speak ill of your name

/--- 1:58 ---/

Like I said, I'm not focused on you

I'm not focused on them

Thank God one day, one way, I picked up a pen

Start writing my thoughts down, strictly for the therapy

/--- 2:11 ---/

My homies said I had a gift that I should do it regularly

I had a skill for observation, a knack for relating

A rib cage of empathy and a collar bone of formality

My shoulders are back, relaxed, and my chin is up

Starting every morning with a cup of tea and sit it ups

 

 

/--- Hook 2 / 2:24 ---/

It wasn't her

It wasn't us

It was me, I can admit it

I'll become a stronger man because of it

 

 

/--- Bridge 2 / 2:37 ---/

My own mind has left me in Hell

But now, I can see the future

I can see Heaven unveiling itself all around me

I've learned to smile again

I'm right here

For myself

And for those I love

And this is just the beginning
