Gone Without Goodbye

Verse 1 Fifteen years of silence, where did the time go? You walked away so quietly, I barely felt the blow, No final words, no tearful goodbye, Just a fading shadow, a whisper in the night. Chorus Was it betrayal, or was it just fate? How can I be broken when you were never there to hate? I can’t wrap my head around the emptiness inside, But I know now, there’s nothing left to hide. Verse 2 You left like a ghost, slipping through the door, No confrontation, no reason to implore, I thought I’d feel anger, maybe some regret, But all that’s left is a void, a numbness I can’t forget. Chorus Was it betrayal, or was it just fate? How can I be broken when you were never there to hate? I can’t wrap my head around the emptiness inside, But I know now, there’s nothing left to hide. Bridge I don’t fear the future, don’t fear the pain, It’s not the hurt that keeps me in this chain, It’s the knowing that I can’t feel a thing, That I could never love, never wear that ring. Verse 3 Fifteen years and now I see, There’s nothing left inside of me, Not a spark, not a flame, not even a sigh, Just a cold realization, that love can’t survive a lie. Chorus Was it betrayal, or was it just fate? How can I be broken when you were never there to hate? I can’t wrap my head around the emptiness inside, But I know now, there’s nothing left to hide. Outro So I walk alone, with no fear of the fall, Not because I’m strong, but because I feel nothing at all, And if love ever knocks, I won’t let it in, For I’ve learned that emptiness is where it begins.
