(Verse 1)
I still pour your coffee in the morning
Still talk to your side of the bed
Your sweater’s hangin’ by the doorway
Like you’re comin’ back again
Your laugh still echoes in the kitchen
I swear I hear it in the rain
I keep the voicemail where you told me
“I love you” — I press play again
(Pre-Chorus)
They say time heals
But it just steals
The pieces that you left behind
And every breath I take
Still aches
Like it’s your name inside
(Chorus)
So here’s my last goodbye, though I’ll never let you go
I’ll cry into the sky, where only angels know
If love could bring you back, I’d die a thousand times
But heaven needed you more than this heart of mine
So I’ll carry your name
Through the fire, through the flame
But God, it hurts to say…
This is the last goodbye
(Verse 2)
I wear your ring like it still matters
’Cause to me, it always will
And I still save your seat on Sundays
Though the church is cold and still
I read your notes like sacred scripture
Every scribble, every line
You told me, “Promise you’ll keep livin’”
But babe, I’m barely gettin’ by
(Pre-Chorus)
They say move on
But that feels wrong
Like turnin’ off the stars at night
You were my light
And now I fight
Just to believe in right
(Chorus)
So here’s my last goodbye, though I’ll never let you go
I’ll cry into the sky, where only angels know
If love could bring you back, I’d die a thousand times
But heaven needed you more than this heart of mine
So I’ll carry your name
Through the fire, through the flame
But God, it hurts to say…
This is the last goodbye
(Bridge)
And if there’s a world beyond this pain
Where your touch still knows my name
I’ll wait a lifetime if I must
To hold you once again in trust
(Final Chorus – softer, slower)
So here’s my last goodbye, I’ll whisper to the wind
Tell the moon to hold you till I see you again
No more pretending, no more lies
I’ll always love you — even past the skies
This is the last goodbye…
But you’ll never leave my life
