[Verse 1]
The screen door creaks as I step outside,
The moon hangs low, nowhere to hide.
Your shadow lingers, framed by the light,
I swear I’ll see it every night.
[Prechorus]
I want to speak, but the words won’t stay,
Like the sun, they just slip away.
[Chorus]
Goodbye’s a heavy word, it don’t fall soft,
Like a stone in my chest, like a bridge I crossed.
You can’t take it back, no matter how you pray,
Goodbye’s a heavy word, and I’m feeling its weight.
[Verse 2]
Your perfume clings to my flannel sleeve,
A ghost of you I can’t quite leave.
The gravel crunches under my boots,
Every step feels farther from the truth.
[Prechorus]
I turn around, but you don’t call,
That silence echoes through it all.
[Chorus]
Goodbye’s a heavy word, it don’t fall soft,
Like a stone in my chest, like a bridge I crossed.
You can’t take it back, no matter how you pray,
Goodbye’s a heavy word, and I’m feeling its weight.
