Before I go

I’ve packed my things but I’m still here,

The silence feels like someone’s scream.

The lights are off, but I can’t sleep,

Still waiting on a dream.

We said forever, then we changed,

Guess some promises run thin.

But if I could hold you one last time,

I’d let the ending begin.

---

I could stay and let us break in two,

Or walk away still loving you...

---

Before I go, I’ll leave my heart inside this song,

So you can find me when I’m gone.

I’ll take the pain, you keep the light,

Remember us in softer nights.

Before I go…

Before I go…

---

Your jacket’s hanging by the door,

It still smells like your cologne.

It’s crazy how a quiet house

Can sound just like a ghost.

We laughed until the walls gave in,

We fought until we both gave up.

But if I had one more chance tonight,

I’d choose the same old love.

---

I could fight the truth, but I already know,

Love like ours learns when to let go…

---

Before I go, I’ll leave my heart inside this song,

So you can find me when I’m gone.

I’ll take the pain, you keep the light,

Remember us in softer nights.

Before I go…

Before I go…

---

I’m not leaving ‘cause I stopped loving you,

I’m leaving ‘cause I still do.

If I stayed, we’d only burn it down,

So I’m walking out before I drown.

---

Before I go, I’ll leave my heart inside this song,

You’ll hear my love when you sing along.

No regrets, no bitter fights,

Just one last kiss in fading light.

Before I go…

Before I go…
