it takes only a few words

but so much time for it to sink in


i am leaving



this is the last time




i'll see you soon





see you tomorrow






goodbye
it takes so little energy to say

so little thought of saying it


but we never keep in mind



it could be the last time
fate could step in

and take that person away forever


and then..that goodbye doesn't mean a thing



it wasn't a true goodbye




it all may end tomorrow





or in 2012






yet we'll never know

we never know which goodbye will be the last


but we say goodbye anyway



never thinking of the consequence




never wondering what if
but we can't live our life in fear

so where is the line


where do we cross



where do we stand




we may never know
but we do know

it takes time to say goodbye


forever to say goodbye



heart to say goodbye




or no heart at all

but no matter what


it is still a goodbye



one we can never take back




one that when it escapes our mouths its gone forever





traveling into the unknown






tempting fate to come into play
then there are the goodbyes we all have to say

the ones that hurt us


the ones that will eventually do us good



the ones we regret the moment we say them




but they can never be taken back





never forgotten
we all know it takes a thousands times to say goodbye

but it takes a thousand more times to say...


im sorry that i ever said goodbye



im sorry for the pain i caused you




im sorry for everything i've done





im so sorry it took this long for me to realize






im so sorry i left







but im not sorry i came back








im not sorry that i love you









im sorry that i hurt you

im sorry i said goodbye


but never the less



they both hurt

and they take a thousand times to say


and a thousand and one times to believe
