An Unfinished Goodbye

[Verse 1] Four years I lived in your light Everyone saw, but I stayed quiet Laughed in the halls, I lived in your smile Praying someday you’d feel it for a while [Pre-Chorus] All those words I never said Still weigh heavy in my chest Time moves on, but I’m still there Reading the lines that went nowhere [Chorus] Fourteen years, and I still can’t let go Your silence follows everywhere I go I gave you my heart, you gave me goodbye And I’ve been chasing the ghost of your eyes If forever means I’m lost in the past Then I’m haunted by the love that couldn’t last [Verse 2] I kept your letter through the years Each word a blade that reappears Soft in tone, but cold beneath You wrote the end of what I believed [Pre-Chorus] All those words I never said Still echo where you left Your voice is gone, but I still hear The sound of something I held dear [Chorus] Fourteen years, and I still can’t let go Your silence follows everywhere I go I gave you my heart, you gave me goodbye And I’ve been chasing the ghost of your eyes If forever means I’m lost in the past Then I’m haunted by the love that couldn’t last [Bridge] I was yours in the quiet, in every breath I hide Everyone knew but you, and I never tried You gave me closure written in pain And I’ve been trying to forget your name [Final Chorus] Fourteen years, I’m still lost in that flame Living in shadows, whispering your name I gave you my truth, you gave me goodbye An unfinished love that won’t ever die If forever means I’m bound to your sky Then I’ll keep living in this unfinished goodbye [Outro] Four years I lived in your eyes Fourteen more with an unfinished goodbye
