I found the rose you left behind
Already losing all its color
The petals fall like days we had
Can't keep them from the floor
Your wool coat still hangs by the door
As if you might come back for it But I know better than that
I hear your voice when the wind comes
through I see your face in the evening sky
I feel your mirror in the stormer's eyes But you're not here,
you're just goodbye
There's a photograph I turned around
Because your
eyes were asking questions
And all the answers that I had Won't bring you back into this room
The firelight still dances on the walls
The way it did when you were laughing
The silence is the only sound
That knows your name the way I do
You're just goodbye
How do I let go of something That never really lasts?
How do I stop loving What I can't forget?
The rose is dying on the ceiling But I can't throw it away
With all I've learned,
all I've had yesterday
You're just goodbye
