lyrics

Time to say goodbye, not so heavy-hearted
Though we’re here and then we’re gone,
Never truly parted

If you ask my name I’m not sure I could say
To try so hard to be someone
Always fixed on a line, what did you find?
And is it really what you hoped?

Do you know what it is to be free?
To live in a world full of love and beauty

Always its bound to change, never the same
But really only rearranged
And though there are so many goodbyes,
You don’t have to try to hold onto the world so tight

I couldn’t bear to see you go
And to live with my own shadow
I thought the darkness would swallow me whole
I was sure there was nothing more
‘til I felt an embrace I’d not felt before
I knew that it was what I was looking for

Time to make your way, don’t you be afraid now

Where does your deepest longing point you towards?
What choice do we have but to heed or to ignore?

A chance to start anew, if you only choose to
All the things you can’t control cannot hold you back

But live this life not as your own, not yours alone
A gift to tend but not to own
When all your days have gone by and its time to die
Its not an ending just goodbye
