Just One Last Goodbye

There are lots of things that hurt to say

Like apologies and truths

And the hardest cuts the deepest when

It gets stolen from you

I guess I took for granted

There would always be more time

I never thought I'd miss saying, "Goodbye"

But I've learned

That if you only want to measure time

Then minutes, hours and days they're just fine

But what's really left is what can't be left behind

Like phone calls, hugs and bittersweet goodbyes

Well I'm sorry that I didn't come

Every time you asked me to

To be honest it was just too hard

To bid farewell to you

I tried to water down my pain

By chasing it with time

But goodbye does not age like fine wine

And I've learned

That life goes on regardless of your fears

And those minutes turn to hours, days, then years

All that remains when you're no longer here

Are memories and "God I miss you" tears

Yeah there's lots of things that hurt to say

Like "I'm sorry" and "I'm wrong"

But the one that hurts the worst

You miss the most when it's gone

If I had all the riches in the universe I'd try

To trade'm in for just one last goodbye

I'd trade'm in

For just one last goodbye
