[Verse 1] I kept your coat on the back of the chair, Though winter moved on and you weren’t there. And all of the almosts I carried like names Still tug at my sleeve when I step from the frame. [Pre-Chorus] You were a door I could not walk through; I bless the closed room, I’m leaving it too. [Chorus] Goodbye, my loves, the ones I knew, Goodbye to the lives that never came true. You can’t walk this road in my place, I’ll take my own hand, I’ll give myself grace. Goodbye, goodbye—let the old ache rest; I’m turning toward home, I’m choosing myself. [Verse 2] Some ghosts wore your face, some wore no face at all, Just a song in my chest and a missed phone call. I don’t have to hate you to loosen the thread; I can love what was, then move on ahead. [Chorus] Goodbye, my loves, the ones I knew, Goodbye to the lives that never came true. You can’t walk this road in my place, I’ll take my own hand, I’ll give myself grace. Goodbye, goodbye—let the old ache rest; I’m turning toward home, I’m choosing myself. [Outro] I’m turning toward home. I’m choosing myself.
