The Longest Goodbye

(アルバム： Lanterns - 2023)

If all these walls could talk
You wouldn't hear a thing
'Cause all I do is cry
And no one is listening

I don't know where you stop
'Cause you bleed through everything
I think this might take my whole life
You're the longest goodbye

Thought that I knew you better
Guess nothing lasts forever
But you still take up all my time
The longest goodbye
Just 'cause I never see you
Don't mean I learned to leave you
And all the love we left behind

I find you here and there
When I'm trying to forget
Even though I'll always care about you
I still wish we never met

And I hope you know I meant it
Even though you don't deserve it
But for now my door's still open wide
You're the longest goodbye

Thought that I knew you better
Guess nothing last forever
But you still take up all my time
The longest goodbye
Just 'cause I never see you
Don't mean I learned to leave you
And all the love we left behind

And California's beautiful
But I might just let you have it
'Cause there's a whole wide world outside of me and you
And maybe in another life we'll
Find out why this happened
And why there's always more of you to lose

Thought that I knew you better
Guess nothing last forever
But you still take up all my time
The longest goodbye
Just 'cause I never see you
Don't mean I learned to leave you
And all the love we left behind
You're the longest goodbye
Goodbye, hmm

And it might not look like it
But for what its worth I'm trying
This might take me my whole life
You're the longest goodbye
