Verse 1 I was walking in circles with nowhere to go A body with a pulse but a heart moving slow Every day felt like breathing underwater I didn’t know I was sinking, just getting smaller Then you found me in the middle of that night Taught my lungs how to hold onto light You said living’s more than surviving the pain And somehow the sky started opening again Pre-Chorus You put color in places I thought were gone Turned my fear into something strong Chorus I don’t wanna say goodbye To the fire you lit inside To the girl I became when I didnt hide You made me brave in the dark Put a compass back in my heart Now I’m scared of who I am without you beside me You were the proof I was alive Not just drifting through time And I don’t know if I’m strong enough to try on my own I don’t wanna say goodbye To everything I've known Verse 2 You showed me how to step off the ledge How to trust there was more than the edge How to speak even when my voice would shake How to choose myself without feeling fake I saw the world through your fearless eyes Watched doubt lose every fight But courage feels different now When I’m standing here alone tonight Pre-Chorus You made it look easy Like falling forward was flying Chorus Chorus I don’t wanna say goodbye To the fire you lit inside To the girl I became when I didnt hide You made me brave in the dark Put a compass back in my heart Now I’m scared of who I am without you beside me You were the proof I was alive Not just drifting through time And I don’t know if I’m strong enough to try on my own.. I don’t wanna say goodbye to everything I've known Bridge If you could see me now Would you say I’m ready? Would you be Proud? Or would you hold my face eemind me I’m steady? Maybe the brave you built in me Isn’t gone… Maybe she’s just learning How to stand alone...? Final Chorus (bigger, drums crash, electric lift) don’t wanna say goodbye To the strength you helped me find To the fearless version you believed in You were my light in the unknown Now I’m staring at it on my own And I don’t know if my hands can hold it You were the reason I tried The echo that said I’ll be fine And I don’t know if I’m brave enough to try I don’t wanna say goodbye... ....Goodbye.... I don’t wanna say goodbye But the fire’s still alive And it’s burning even without you You didn’t save me just to leave You taught me how to believe..in me Maybe that means I can walk through You were the spark in my sky But now your the star guiding my way And maybe I’m stronger than I realize... because you helped make me that way.. I don’t wanna say goodbye No, I don’t wanna say goodbye.. goodbye....
