"Goodbye to You" - Michelle Branch
I've been playing an old compilation in my car the last few days. I called it the Final Goodbye and although I remember quite vividly who it was for and why I sent it out the way I did, I couldn't remember exactly what songs I put on it. You can imagine my surprise at a few selections I made as it played...
Movie tracks, old 70's classics and even the pop songs you wouldn't figure would be on a such a sad little burnt CD echoed in my mini and reintroduced itself to me. Some I forgot, others I couldn't stomach anymore...but most were like seeing an old friend again and getting a chance to catch up with more than a simple, "Hello."
This was the second to last song out of 20! And its familiarity hit a tiny little nerve in the back of my brain, opening a memory drawer I shut tightly in what feels like ions ago. It made me realize that even when I tried hard not to think about it, a moment that seems too unbearable to relive started to play over in my mind. And although time can change a person and whatever happened in the past will pretty much stay there, the feelings, good and bad, will never quite disappear.
Lyrics:
Of all the things I've believed in
I just want to get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by
I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
It feels like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend
And I said
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems that I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light
But it's not right
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want what's yours and I want what's mine
I want you
But I'm not giving in this time
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
Oh, the one thing that I tried to hold on to
And when the stars fall
I will lie awake
You're my shooting star
