If I said Goodbye
If I gave up and said goodbye
It's because I lost the ability to cry
This pain I've felt I never knew why
I just couldn't keep up with the lie
Never would've predictated that I'd be in this position
A postion no one notices with out obvious recgontion
Of course I wouldn't want people to see
This empty shell I've come to be
I'm a fraction of what I knew as me
Despair and solitude are my eternity
Unless I can fianlly surpass
The depression that has learned to last
I've always been able to hide
Hide this pain I bury inside
Trying so hard to hide what I don't want them to find
And they'll never find if I said good bye
Goodbye to the poeple I love the most
Goodbye to the illness that made me a host
Goodbye to the family that never came to be
Goodbye to the person I once knew as me
