Goodbye my love,
Though we surely had some times worth remembering
And though I'm just as torn as you that this is ending
I'm sorry love but I have to walk away
Hello my son,
Though it's hard to understand while you're so young
And though I know for you that life has just begun
I'm sorry son but I have to walk away
Hello the ghost,
that I've been living with for most of my life
I'm laying at your feet, "the host of my strife"
So now I think that it's time we walked away
Cause this life is cold but you'd be a fool,
To think with words you could change the truth of it
I'd rather be sticking it out on my own
Than live among you but feel alone with,
Just my thoughts and hopes
Cause I love you so, but I have to go, I have to walk away
Well hello Mother,
Thanks for the man that you've uncovered
And though I could never repay the life that you gave
I've learned from mistakes that you've made
So I'm sorry mom, but I have to walk away
Cause this life is cold but you'd be a fool,
To think with words you could change the truth of it
I'd rather be sticking it out on my own
Than live among you but feel alone with,
Just my thoughts and hopes
That you'd hold me close, even as I go, as I walk away
Goodbye my friends,
My greatest regret I'd say, is that we never met
