You Can Say Goodbye

You can lie awake at night Blaming every reason why Repeating a note you meant to write That pretends you really tried Or you can say goodbye To faces without eyes Or you can say goodbye To voices without replies When the crushed wings cannot fly When the song birds only cry When the whispers are just sighs Then you can say goodbye Then you can say goodbye You can point to which memories Were the first of the frequent lies The photos of careless choices Tossed into a dying fire Or you can say goodbye To the memories you despise Or you can say goodbye To the feelings you disguise When the crushed wings cannot fly When the song birds will not cry When the whispers are just sighs Then you can say goodbye Then you can say goodbye On empty nights Careless hearts Choose to move Despite the dark Howling winds And broken parts Pull chances close Then fall apart You can beg another daylight To rub the hours from your eyes Wanting time to block the dark Long before the sun begins its rise Or you can say goodbye To countless half hearted tries Or you can say goodbye To everything someone denies When the crushed wings cannot fly When the song birds will not cry When the whispers are just sighs Then you can say goodbye Then you can say goodbye
