goodbyes
the first goodbye is hardest
and the second is easier
once you get used to leaving
walking away is numbed
but i was never the one to walk away
just watched you leave
so each goodbye stings
with the same old heartbreak
because if the first goodbye is hardest
i don’t think i could ever do it
loving you is the pain
of each of your goodbyes
you left your love at my feet
and i’m scared
that once i bend down to pick it up
you’ll be gone when i look back
and the first goodbye is hardest
when you’re the one leaving
but the last goodbye is the worst
when you didn’t know it was last
