[Verse 1] I kept your laugh in the back of my throat For seasons after the last call We said forever like a dare in the dark Then watched forever lose its nerve [Pre-Chorus] Some names still catch when the day turns cold Some never had a chance to be told [Chorus] Goodbye to the ones I loved and lost Goodbye to the ones I couldn't love You were a spark I couldn't carry You were a song I couldn't become I let the almosts pass through me I let the old ache come undone [Verse 2] Your picture faded in the summer sun Though I had never held your hand I grieve the words I never got to say And plans we never got to make [Bridge] I keep the tender, leave the blame I bless the fire, forget the flame [Final Chorus] Goodbye to the ones I loved and lost Goodbye to the ones I couldn't love You were a spark I couldn't carry You were a song I couldn't become I let the almosts pass through me I let the old ache come undone [Outro] Some loves end before they start Still, I can wish you well
