Farewell

[Verse 1] No one will sing of me, nor understand, My choice will shock you all across the land, My friends, I'm tired now—my mind is set, The time has come… the time to leave, and yet, [Hook] Don’t blame me now, it’s what I choose, I want some time to say my last goodbyes to you. [Chorus] Goodbye, I'm leaving with a heavy, hurting heart, You see the pain— it’s pulling me apart, Goodbye—what hurts me most is knowing too, That I must go… that I won’t come back to you. [Verse 2] All things are ready now, arranged secretly, The doctor gives consent to set me free, I’ll fall asleep as in a long, deep rest, Through death I’ll walk that crimson road of rest. [Chorus] Goodbye, I'm leaving with a heavy, hurting heart, You see the pain—it’s pulling me apart, Goodbye—it breaks me even more to know, That I must leave… without one last goodbye to show, [Verse 3] It hurts to leave behind the life I’ve known, I love this life the way a fool loves what he owns, I’m scared — oh, this will be my final step, And I alone must cross that last frontier… [Hook – reprise] Don’t blame me now, it’s what I choose, I want some time to say my last goodbyes to you. [Bridge] Hold tight my hand, to soften my descent, It’s over now—no strength is left, no fight is meant, Yet through the tears, I find a gentle calm, To leave while giving you a piece of who I am. [Chorus] Goodbye, I'm leaving with a heavy, hurting heart, You see the pain—it’s pulling me apart...(apart) [Outro] My friends… the time has come… Goodbye… Goodbye…
