# **The Goodbye Nobody Warned Me About** **Verse 1** Some part of you always prepares For love to find an ending. We grow up knowing hearts can break, Knowing people stop pretending. We're told that forever can change, That someone can stop choosing you. But no one ever tells you What happens when a friend does too. Nobody warns you about the silence. Nobody tells you how empty it feels. When someone who knew your whole story Suddenly acts like none of it was real. **Pre-Chorus** Because I could've prepared for heartbreak. I could've prepared to let someone go. But I never prepared for the person Who knew my soul To become someone I don't know. **Chorus** Friendship breakups hurt the worst Because nobody sees them coming. There's no final chapter. No reason. No warning. Just a person you loved Slowly becoming a stranger. And you're left holding memories They already put down. I swear losing a friend Is the quietest kind of heartbreak. Because the world keeps moving... While yours falls apart. **Verse 2** You were the person I thought would stay. The one I never had to question. I gave you pieces of my life I don't give to just anyone. I knew your fears. I knew your dreams. I knew the things you never said. And now I wonder if you ever Held me the same way in your head. **Bridge** Maybe that's what hurts the most... Not that you left. But realizing I was grieving Something you had already buried. I was still fighting for us While you were already letting go. How do you stop missing someone Who chose to become someone you don't know? **Final Chorus** Some part of me will always wonder If I mattered the way you mattered to me. If those years were something you carry... Or something you were able to leave. Because relationships end And people tell you to move on. But nobody tells you what to do When your best friend is gone. No one prepares your heart For a goodbye like this. The hardest goodbye... Is losing someone Who was never supposed to leave.
