Hard to Say Goodbye Lyrics by Patrick Jørgensen

Lifeline

2015

[Verse 1]
I don't think you understand the feeling that I get inside
When I see your cursive handwriting, it's like you're still alive
I laugh and then I smile, it takes a while before it sinks
It's like a part of you is still among us sunk into the ink
I write you on a sheet, let my pen float like a river
I catch my thoughts in passing, let it dry up on the paper
Memories are fading since we no longer communicate
The silent treatment's torturous, was I the one who taught you this?
Sorry for the times I locked the door and shut you out
Left the house without a word I know the shit has kept you up
I woke up in the hospital and finally had enough
And that's about the time I took to hear you out 'bout stuff
I had a Million Questions pinching inside of my skull
Inside instincts insisted I invite you for a talk
Remember raising questions as to what your biggest dreams were
Your reply included me, doing what I dreamed for
And that's about the time I packed my bags and moved away
To go to college, I acknowledge, got some knowledge on the way
And if it taught me something, it's that anything can happen
Any day can be the first and any day can be the last
Any day can be the best and any day can make you hurt
I've been putting in the hours, must be worth it in the end because
I'm hanging loose, but sitting tight, realize that I didn't might
Have spent a few years in silence just to make it overnight
[Chorus]
Hard to say goodbye when the time flew us by
Reaching for the stars, see light in the sky
I can't reach far, so, I keep you close
I try to hide it off, but it often shows
Hard to say goodbye when the time flew us by
Reaching for the stars, see light in the sky
I can't reach far, so, I keep you close
I try to hide it off, but it often shows
[Verse 2]
It's been a year now and things are looking better
Since I had the time, I took the time to write a letter
And even though I can't stick postage and to send it
I hope I sing this high enough for Heaven Gates to hear it
You see what I've been trying to do, is to make you proud
Sorry you can't witness when I stand before the crowd
I'm sticking by the words, knowing damn well what I promised you
You told me that I could and I told you I would make it through
You said, "Put it the hours and the effort ain't for nothing"
And now all of a sudden, I'm in a competition
No doubt, I'm feeling nervous, like I'm staring at a gun
I got Nikes on my feet, but it's too late for me to run
And if I were to run, my fate is all that I am running from
My fight is with myself, I swing for chances as they come
Been giving it my all but doesn't make me number one
May not have reached it yet, I'll write you when I'm done
[Chorus]
Hard to say goodbye when the time flew us by
Reaching for the stars, see light in the sky
I can't reach far, so, I keep you close
I try to hide it off, but it often shows
Hard to say goodbye when the time flew us by
Reaching for the stars, see light in the sky
I can't reach far, so, I keep you close
I try to hide it off, but it often shows
