The Day You Said Goodbye lyrics

The crack was loud, the room stood still Your eyes were calm but mine were filled With every word we didn't say Every dream I'd slipped away Your shadow leaned against the wall Like it already knew the fall I felt the silence draw a line Between your heart and mine You held your breath, I felt it too Like the world knew what you'd do Every second learned to wait Right before it was too late The day you said goodbye The sky decried Was all the pain in me broken inside Your voice was soft but sharp as truth A love let go, a future loose The day you said goodbye Time lost its way My heart stood still, you walked away I watched forever fade from you The day you said goodbye The day you said goodbye Your hand slipped slowly out of mine Like it was practicing the sign Of letting go without a sound Of leaving love still on the ground I memorized your final look Like a page torn from a book I didn't beg, I didn't plea I just let the moment be I smiled when I want to cry Pretending I was on your side But every step you took from me Was cracking what we used to be The day you said goodbye The sky decried Was all the pain in me broken inside Your voice was soft but sharp as truth A love let go, a future loose The day you said goodbye Time lost its way My heart stood still, you walked away I watched forever fade from you The day you said goodbye If love is real, it leaves a mark Even time can't tear apart I carry you, not as regret But as a promise I once met If paths cross where hearts don't stay I'll bless the words you couldn't say I'll lay that final frame Your lips move slow, hear my name My heart froze, I stood still Time to bend but not to break my will I didn't lose you at once I felt you leaving long before you left Shadows dance where we once stood Miss you more than I thought I would Tears fall soft, I let them slide No more running, no more hide Goodbye, goodbye, I still feel you when I close my eyes Oh, I survive, I still try I breathe again, I'm still alive Love changed shape before my eyes That was the day you said goodbye The day you said goodbye I learned my name Not yours, not us, but who I became Your leaving taught my heart to grow Some love stays even when you go The day you said goodbye I didn't fall I learned how to outlive it all I still believe, I won't deny Even after goodbye
