I Found Goodbye in Your Eyes

[Verse 1] You were talking about nothing The weather, work, a friend from school The same old room around us The same familiar view The coffee had gone cold between us Like it had a hundred times before But something felt different Like a picture slipping from its frame And I couldn’t ignore it anymore ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] No slammed doors No final fight Just a feeling I couldn’t name Growing in the quiet ⸻ [Chorus] I found goodbye in your eyes Long before the words were spoken Like a photograph fading slowly Or a promise left broken I found goodbye in your eyes And suddenly I knew The hardest part of losing you Was watching you lose me too ⸻ [Verse 2] I remembered how you’d look at me Like I was the only thing around Like every word I whispered Was worth holding onto somehow But now your gaze passed through me Like sunlight through a vacant room Still beautiful Still warm But no longer mine to hold ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] And I knew that moment Before either of us moved ⸻ [Chorus] I found goodbye in your eyes Long before the words were spoken Like a shoreline disappearing Into an endless ocean I found goodbye in your eyes And suddenly I knew The hardest part of losing you Was watching you lose me too ⸻ [Bridge] It wasn’t one mistake Or one terrible night It wasn’t some great betrayal Or a wrong and a right It was a thousand tiny silences Gathering like rain Until the love we built together Couldn’t carry the weight And I wanted to reach for you The way I used to do But somewhere along the road You’d already let go ⸻ [Instrumental Break] (Mournful electric guitar, slow and singing) ⸻ [Final Chorus] I found goodbye in your eyes Before either of us cried Before the empty space between us Had a name we could describe I found goodbye in your eyes And suddenly I knew Some hearts don’t break in a moment They break in slow motion Too I found goodbye in your eyes And there was nothing left to do Except sit there in the silence And watch the truth come through ⸻ [Outro] (Clean guitar, almost whispered vocal) It was the way the light fell… And suddenly I knew… It was the look in your eyes… And suddenly I knew… You were already gone… Before goodbye…
