The Hardest Goodbye

Verse 1:

I walked away from the shadows, left the pain behind,

Bruises on my spirit, but I made it out alive.

Found the strength to start again, to learn to trust and smile,

A brand-new road was waiting, and love was worth the trial.

Verse 2:

Then I met an angel, soft and sweet and kind,

She healed the broken pieces I thought I'd never find.

We built a life together, a home with open doors,

Laughed through all the little things, dreamed of so much more.

Chorus (Hopeful):

I was finally living, finally free,

Love was like a river washing over me.

Held your hand at the altar, promised through the years,

Joy was in our future, no more pain, no more tears.

Verse 3:

But the world grew heavy, storms began to rise,

Lost jobs, empty tables, sorrow in our eyes.

The cracks became a canyon, too wide for us to cross,

And in the quiet silence, I felt the weight of loss.

Verse 4:

You found another heartbeat, one that wasn’t mine,

Packed your bags and whispered, “We’re out of time.”

Then the news came crashing, tore my world apart,

Carrying another’s child, while you still held my heart.

Verse 5 (New - Gave Up Too Soon):

We were madly in love, through the darkest of nights,

But you gave up too quickly, before we saw the light.

If you’d held on longer, been patient and strong,

We could’ve made it through, we could’ve carried on.

Chorus (Broken):

I was finally living, now I can’t breathe,

Love slipped through my fingers like autumn leaves.

I stood there in the wreckage, drowning in my tears,

The hardest goodbye of my life was here.

Bridge:

I’ve faced near-death, I’ve buried friends,

I’ve carried sorrow that never ends.

But nothing compares, no pain can survive,

The hardest goodbye of my whole life.

If only you’d held on, just a little more time,

We could’ve reached the light on the other side.

Outro:

On the first of September, Spring Day’s sun would shine,

But that was the day you were no longer mine.

Spring turned to ashes, my soul destroyed inside,

The hardest goodbye, the day love truly died.

It is what it is, no turning back now,

Just me and the hardest goodbye somehow.

I can see you from afar, but I can’t hold you near,

Can’t whisper how I love you, can’t make you hear.

It’s a torture I keep living, a wound that won’t heal,

The hardest goodbye — the deepest pain I feel.
