Nobody Told Me I'd Have To Say Goodbye

NOTE: You may want to turn the volume down a bit. I know the recording is shoddy for the very few unfortunate who may hear this.

Will I ever see your face again?
Nobody told me
It was time to
Say goodbye
You take your bow
But my script goes on
Hold those curtains
I have so much left
To say
To you

Somebody block that exit
The best part’s just beginning
But you’ve vanished

Ooh ooh ooh

I built
Sand castles up
Imagined they’d stand
Forever
I never thought
You’d be the wave
To knock them down

But I guess it makes sense
We both had to build it
And we were dreaming
A thousand miles
Apart
Long before
You wore out
My heart

Will I ever see your face again?
Nobody told me
It was time to
Say goodbye
You take your bow
But my script goes on
Hold those curtains
I have so much left
To say
To you

Sure, we were just kids
Playing for keeps
Prematurely

So I guess it makes sense
If you call it a game

But every breath I draw
Is one less
Moment I have left
And every breath you draw
Is one more
Moment
That I miss

You only go around this star so many times
You only get to breathe so many breaths

Will I ever see your face again?
Nobody told me
It was time to
Say goodbye
You take your bow
But my script goes on
Hold those curtains
I have so much left
To say
To you

So I’ll say it now

I wish I’d been a better man
For you
I know I broke the spell that day
I’ll always know
I’m sorry most that
I’ll never see
You grow
I wish that I could say all this
Before you go

Will I ever see your face again?
Nobody told me
I’d have to
Say goodbye
