we say goodbye

there's a fog hovering over hearts left aching,
hearts that thought love was a chance worth taking
but love grows cold, and life goes by
and so do we,
we say goodbye

there are tears crying over lifeless eyes
tears that fall unhindered for sudden goodbyes
but life doesn't last, and love goes on
and so do we,
we say goodbye

when, nothing is certain, nothing is sane
nothing is seen past the walls of your pain
and its so real that
when we feel it,
we wish it didn't hurt,
...but it does,
and when it does
we pray goodbye

there's a sky crying over souls of blue,
souls that found pain that they never knew,
but love is hard, so life moves by
and so do we
we say goodbye

there's a bouquet left on a faceless grave,
a grave claiming somebody no one could name
because life is hard and love moves by,
and so do we,
we say goodbye

when, nothing is certain, nothing is sane
nothing is seen past the walls of your pain
and its so real that
when we feel it,
we wish it didn't hurt,
...but it does,
and when it does
we pray goodbye

there's a homeless man with a cup in hand
a hand held out for some he hopes will understand
but life moves past, and love's gone dry
and so have we
we say goodbye

there's a girl too young on the corner of the street,
selling her body so that she can eat
but love is empty and life moves by
and so do we
we say goodbye

when, nothing is certain, nothing is sane
nothing is seen past the walls of your pain
and its so real that
when we feel it,
we wish it didn't hurt,
..but it does
and when it does
we pray goodbye

there's a little girl praying fervently into the sky
praying that her daddy lasts through the night...
but life is cruel and love goes on,
and so do we
even with goodbye.

when life hurts,
we pray goodbye
we don't do anything but say goodbye.
