Goodbye.

A bittersweet accoustic closer. Last summer, one of my very best friends left us suddenly and very unexpectedly. This one's for you, Beast. Guitar solo courtesy of Mark Torstenson.

 

VERSE1: You – you slowly drifted away
And you acted like nothing was wrong
There’s so much I wanted to say
And now I can’t believe that you’re gone
You never would ask me for help
But I would have done what I could
You kept the pain to yourself
And now you’ve left me for good

BUILD: And all I’ve got are memories
I’m learning to live with you gone
But I’ll always have just one regret

CHORUS: I never really got to say goodbye to you
I never got to say goodbye to you

VERSE2: Why – I guess I’ll never know
What was going on inside your head
You hurt and you didn’t let it show
You thought you’d be better off dead
So you slowly drifted away
And you acted like nothing was wrong
Now there’s so much I need to say
And I can’t believe that you’re gone

BUILD

CHORUS

BRIDGE: You and me were closer than brothers
But time just dragged us apart
If only you’d hinted that you were hurting
If only I had opened my heart

VERSE3 You – you slowly drifted away
And you acted like nothing was wrong
There’s so much I wanted to say
And now I can’t believe that you’re gone

BUILD

CHORUS
