Goodbye

It's hard to recall

All the things we used to do

To see all the memories

When it was me and you

But now i find myself crying

It's hard to not know what to do

Trying to hold on, but i'm not lying

I don't know how to say goodbye

And i bet you didn't know too

It's hard when your loved ones are dying

Your just watching.  there is nothing you can do

It's hard to keep on smiling

When i'm afraid of losing you

And you try your best to keep it hidden

But all the time it's dark around you

And i see you really trying

Everytime my heart breaks for you

Cause i don't know how to say goodbye

And i bet you don't know too

Sometimes you wish they were still trying

When your loved ones are no longer with you

And it's hard to keep on smiling

You know you gotta move on. there's nothing left to do

But i know we were fantastic

And where ever i go i'll always be with you

And if you knew how to say goodbye

I bet you would have taught me too..

Goodbye is unarguably one of the hardest words in the English language ... I've only had to say it once to a former friend, and it was one of the saddest moments of my life. This piece reminded me of that moment. I really like how the piece ends with "I bet you would have taught me too" ... it really shows the helplessness of the situation as well as the sorrow and despair that goes with it. I also enjoyed the repeated rhymes throughout and how they convey an eerie feeling.
