[Intro] [Vocal C] I thought goodbye was only grey A quiet road, an empty place But somewhere past the tears I cried I found gold after goodbye [Verse 1] [Vocal C] I kept your sweater for a year Like a promise I could wear But it never kept me warm enough When you were no longer there There were nights I blamed the silence There were days I lost my way But the heart can learn to open Even after it breaks [Pre-Chorus] [Vocal A] Now I don’t need your sorry I don’t need one last call I don’t need to make you miss me Just to prove I meant it all [Chorus] [All] There is gold after goodbye There is light beyond the fight There is more to me than missing you More than lonely Friday nights I was lost, but I survived I let go and came alive I thought love had left me empty But I found gold after goodbye [Verse 2] [Vocal A] I cut my hair, changed my shoes Turned our song into something new Drove past your street and didn’t turn Guess even ashes have to learn I’m not bitter, I’m not cold I just don’t fit your story anymore You were a chapter, not the end I can finally breathe again [Verse 3] [Vocal C] There’s a morning on my window There’s a softness in the air I don’t wake up reaching For a hand that isn’t there Maybe healing isn’t sudden Maybe peace takes time to grow Maybe losing what I wanted Helped me find my own road [Bridge] [Vocal B] I gave you all my best years But I’m taking back my name I won’t turn my heart to stone Just because it felt the pain I can break and still be open I can hurt and still be kind You were not my final story You were only one goodbye [Soft Breakdown] [Vocal C] I don’t hate the past now [Vocal A] I don’t chase it either [Vocal C] I can miss the old days [Vocal A] Without wanting to be there [Final Chorus] [All] [Vocal B ad-libs] There is gold after goodbye There is light beyond the fight There is more to me than missing you More than lonely Friday nights I was lost, but I survived I let go and came alive I thought love had left me empty But I found gold after goodbye There is gold after goodbye There is strength in changing sides I thought the ending broke me down But it taught me how to rise [Outro] [Vocal C, then All] I thought goodbye was only grey But now I see the morning sky You were the end of who I was And the start of my new life [All] [Soft Harmony] I found gold After goodbye
