So much I thought I'd have to say
How I try to speak, my meaning strays
We can't avoid the facts that brought us here
I've come to say goodbye

The lies I try to tell with my own eyes
An act of pride, a willful compromise
Please understand how torn I am

When I walk away from here

I'll lament the moments we once shared
If I am far too sentimental I apologize
Please understand, this is who I am

And who I'll still be
When I've walked away from here

You know I'm not unkind
When I say in the future the past is just the past
No going back, no change of heart
But this is now, time will not defer

My thoughts betray, so easily confess
How long I'll wait here after you have gone
Nothing ends but I don't believe that now

Please don't walk away from here

And when alone, when I remember days
Nothing will change a single fact of who you were to me
Oh, come what may, forever to the end

I find it so hard to let you go

And hush now, let it go now
There's no need for sad goodbyes

Hush now, let it go now

I know it's time to go, time to let this fall from my hands
