lyrics

GOODBYE

I made a wish on a falling star
A satellite to my sole desire
Sure as gravity you struck my heart
I'd never be the same

Decaying orbits pulled me deep inside
Closer still our worlds were destined to collide
Your colours bled into my northern skies
I could almost touch your flame

But like a sun dying echoed by its light
I could feel your warmth but you had long passed by
I'd lost you then before I even realised
I never had the chance to say goodbye

We built a city from the broken shards
Of ancient stories told of love that fell apart
We carved our dreams into the stone facades
It's there I wrote your name

And when you left I walked the empty square
I realised that you had never really been there
And yet the ghost of you still whispered in the air
And it haunts my days

I'm not ashamed of this foolish wish
The promises I made
Or the pledge that touched your lips
Or even now I see our love in its decline
I just never had the chance to say goodbye

I made a wish on a falling star
A satellite to my sole desire
Sure as gravity you struck my heart
And I'll never be the same

And though I wish you only happiness
That you find peace and that your life is truly blessed
There's just one thing that twists the thorn there in my side
I never had the chance to say goodbye

So I'll say it now
