A Sad Goodbye
Rain drops are falling softly,
In tune with my beating heart.
You say it was for my own good,
That we had to depart.
If this is so, Dearest One,
Then why is my heart breaking?
If this is true, My Love,
Then why is my being aching?
You did this out of selfishness,
For the will all of your own.
I hope you're happy now, Sweetheart,
'Cause I'm left here alone.
You didn't even bid goodbye,
Just turned and walked away.
How am I to reduce this amount,
Of overwhelming pain?
I've tried to be strong, tried to move on,
But nothing seems to work.
Day in, day out, try as I may,
But all I do is hurt.
I can still see your face so clearly,
I can even hear your voice.
I wouldn't be sentenced to either,
Had I been given a choice.
I've tried to discover,
The love of someone new.
But his love couldn't be good enough,
Because he wasn't you.
In tune with my beating heart.
You say it was for my own good,
That we had to depart.
If this is so, Dearest One,
Then why is my heart breaking?
If this is true, My Love,
Then why is my being aching?
You did this out of selfishness,
For the will all of your own.
I hope you're happy now, Sweetheart,
'Cause I'm left here alone.
You didn't even bid goodbye,
Just turned and walked away.

Of overwhelming pain?
I've tried to be strong, tried to move on,
