Goodbye

Sit here and cry for a while in my arms.

Don’t hold it in,

Just let it go.

Let the tears flow,

Like a waterfall of sorrow and goodbyes,

Don’t hold it in,

Just let it go.

The worst pain there is,

Is pain of abandonment.

Can saying goodbye compare

In any way at all?

The throat constricting,

Heart is pounding,

Sorrow screaming to be heard.

And they don’t come back,

They can’t come back at all.

Sit here and cry for a while in my arms.

Don’t hold it in,

Just let it go.

Let the tears flow,

Like a waterfall of sorrow and goodbyes,

Don’t hold it in,

Just let it go.

How do you handle

The pain raging in your heart?

Do you cry so quietly,

Lock yourself away?

Or do you scream out to the heavens

Asking why, why, why?

Can you stand it,

Can you take it?

Aren’t you like everybody else?

Sit here and cry for a while in my arms,

Don’t hold it in,

Just let it go.

Let the tears flow,

Like a waterfall of sorrow and goodbyes,

Don’t hold it in,

Just let it go.

And know

That if you need me,

I’m there, forever there.

In you heart,

You can always find me and see,

We’re not that far apart.

But still…

Small consolation…

So you sit here and cry for a while,

In my arms.

You will be,

Warm and safe and dry,

Ready to see.

It’s not forever nor

Forever and a day.

So take your pain and wash it all away.

Please take my pain,

And wash it all away.
