[Intro] [Melancholic Pop] [Soft Piano] [Ambient Synth] Maybe some endings Were never meant to be forever Maybe goodbye Was only a sign [Verse 1] [Reflective] I watched our shadows fade beneath the streetlights Like old photographs washed out by time I kept chasing every word I should've spoken Till I forgot what was already mine I carried every promise on my shoulders Trying so hard to make it all feel right But sometimes holding on can break you slowly And letting go can bring you back to life [Pre-Chorus] [Melancholic] Who decides what we should become? Who says leaving means you've lost? Maybe my heart knew all along Some roads are worth the cost [Chorus] [Emotional Pop][Philosophical] Goodbye is not a failure It's a door I had to find I'm leaving all the pieces That were never really mine I don't have all the answers I don't know where this road goes But if I lose the past tonight Maybe I'll finally come home [Verse 2] [Dreamy Pop] We were reaching for each other in the darkness But somehow we kept missing every time I mistook the fear of being lonely For a reason I should stay behind There are memories I won't erase forever There are scars I'll carry when I go But I don't have to hate the things that hurt me To know that I deserve to let them go [Pre-Chorus] [Hopeful] I won't call myself a coward For choosing what I need Sometimes the bravest thing you can do Is finally choose to leave [Chorus] [Powerful Melancholic Pop] Goodbye is not an escape It's a step into the unknown I'm leaving what I couldn't save To find a place I can call home I may cry along the way I may miss what used to be But losing you doesn't mean I lose The person I can still become in me [Post-Chorus] [Ambient] Oh-oh, I'm still here Oh-oh, I'm still breathing Even with the pieces missing I'm still becoming me [Bridge] [Cinematic] [Piano + Strings] Maybe we were never meant to last Maybe some chapters have to close I'll keep the light you gave me But I won't live inside your shadow And if we meet again someday I hope we'll smile instead of cry Because some people are meant to stay And some are meant to say goodbye [Chorus] [Epic Melancholic Pop] Goodbye is the beginning Of a life I couldn't see I'm carrying the memories But I'm finally carrying me The tears will dry eventually The night will turn to gold And even if tomorrow scares me I'll walk into it alone [Outro] [Gentle Piano] So goodbye... Not because we didn't matter But because I have to go Maybe goodbye Was never the end Maybe it was The sign to begin again
