Why is it so hard to say goodbye?

(Verse 1)

Your garden still remembers you,

The daisies bloom where we once grew.

Your laughter lingers in the air,

I close my eyes — you’re still right there.

You held my hand through every storm,

Your love was fire, soft and warm.

Now I’m standing where you’d be,

Trying to be strong like you taught me.

(Pre-Chorus)

And though the sun still paints the sky,

It feels a little colder every night.

(Chorus)

Why is it so hard to say goodbye?

When your voice still whispers in my mind.

You were my heart, my home, my light,

Now I talk to stars at night.

You said love never really dies —

So why’s it so hard to say goodbye?

(Verse 2)

The bench we built is growing moss,

The roses bloom, but I feel loss.

I still bring tea for only one,

Still wait for you when day is done.

You’d smile and say, “The world goes on,”

But it feels wrong when you’re gone.

I see your face in morning dew,

The garden still belongs to you.

(Pre-Chorus)

And every bird that starts to sing,

Carries pieces of your spring.

(Chorus)

Why is it so hard to say goodbye?

When your voice still whispers in my mind.

You were my heart, my home, my light,

Now I talk to stars at night.

You said love never really dies —

So why’s it so hard to say goodbye?

(Bridge)

I’ll plant your favorite seeds again,

And tell the flowers where you’ve been.

You gave me roots, you gave me wings,

Now I’ll bloom through everything.

Mhmmmm

Ohohoooo

(Chorus)

Why is it so hard to say goodbye?

When your voice still whispers in my mind.

You were my heart, my home, my light,

Now I talk to stars at night.

You said love never really dies —

So why’s it so hard to say goodbye?

Why is it so hard to say goodbye?

When your love still grows inside my life.

You taught me strength, you taught me grace,

I see forever in your face.

You said love never really dies —

And now I know… that’s why.
