Goodbyes Lyrics

There's so much that I would say if I could see you one last time
But now I can't because you're not here but you're always on my mind
When I look up and you're not there, when I lie awake at night
All these things I ask myself and I don't know why

(When it's the first time)
When is the first time that you'll never see someone again?
(When it's the last time)
When it's the last time you weren't ready for it to end?
When will I leave you standing alone there in the dark?
(It's never easy)
They're never easy but sometimes, goodbyes are so hard, they're so hard

When it's the first time that you'll never see someone again?
When it's the last time you weren't ready for it to end?
When will I leave you standing alone there in the dark?
They're never easy but sometimes goodbyes are so hard, they're so hard

I look ahead but can't move on, I look back but I can't stay
And I keep tryin' to be strong, but this pain, it won't go away
And I hope this will heal in time because I can't go on like this
And right now I would give my life for one last kiss

(When it's the first time)
When is the first time that you'll never see someone again?
(When it's the last time)
When it's the last time you weren't ready for it to end?
When will I leave you standing alone there in the dark?
(It's never easy)
They're never easy but sometimes, goodbyes are so hard, they're so hard

You'll be there on my mind, standing in the sunshine

(When it's the first time)
When it's the first time that you'll never see someone again?
(When it's the last time)
When it's the last time you weren't ready for it to end?
When will I leave you standing alone there in the dark?
(It's never easy)
They're never easy but sometimes, goodbyes are so hard, they're so hard
