Hard to Say Goodbye

[Verse 1]

I don't think you understand the feeling that I get inside

When I see your cursive handwriting it's like you're still alive

I laugh and then I smile it takes a while before it sinks

It's like a part of you is still among us sunken through the ink

I write you on a sheet, let my pen feel like a river

I catch my thoughts and pass my letters drying through the paper

Memories are fading since we no longer communicate

The silent treatment's torturous, was I the one who taught you this

Sorry for the times I locked the door and shut you out

Left the house without a word and all this shit has kept you up

I woke up in the hospital and finally had enough

And that's about the time that I would hear you I would stuff

I had a million questions pinching inside of my skull

Inside it seems insists that I invite you for a talk

Remember raising questions as to what your biggest dreams were

Your reply included me, doing what I dreamed for

And that's about the time I packed my bags and moved away

To go to college I acknowledge got some knowledge on the way

And if it taught me something it's that anything can happen

Any day can be the first and any day can be the last

Any day can be the best and any day can make you hurt

I'm including in the hours must be worth it in the end because

I'm hanging loose and sitting tight, realize that I didn't mind

I've spent a few years in silence just to make it overnight



[Chorus]

Hard to say goodbye when time threw a spot

Reaching for the stars, light in the sky

I can't reach far so I keep you close

I try to hide it off but it often shows

Hard to say goodbye when time threw a spot

Reaching for the stars, light in the sky

I can't reach far so I keep you close

I try to hide it off but it often shows



[Verse 2]

It's been a year now, and things are looking better

Since I had the time I took the time to write a letter

And even though I can't stick postage and to send it

I hope I sing this high enough for heaven gets to hear it

You see what I've been trying to do, is to make you proud

Just sorry you can witness when I stand before the crowd

I'm sticking by my words so one day I might've promised you

You told me that I couldn't I told you I would make it through

You said put it the hours and the effort and for nothing

And now all of a sudden, I'm in a competition

Look out I'm feeling nervous like I'm staring at a gun

I got Nikes on my feet but it's too late for me to run

And if I were to run my faith is all that I am running from

My fight is with myself assume the chances as they come

Be giving it my all because it make me number one

Me not have reached it yet, I'll write you when I'm done



[Chorus]

Hard to say goodbye when time threw a spot

Reaching for the stars, light in the sky

I can't reach far so I keep you close

I try to hide it off but it often shows

Hard to say goodbye when time threw a spot

Reaching for the stars, light in the sky

I can't reach far so I keep you close

I try to hide it off but it often shows
