Lyrics: Said Goodbye

SAID GOODBYE

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

NOVEMBER 2016

SO NOW YOU THINK YOU'RE ON TOP

DIDN'T THINK YOU'D EVER STOP

GUESS YOU'RE OVER ALL THOSE PEOPLE

THAT YOU STEPPED ON SO NEATLY

NEVER A THOUGHT HOW THEY MIGHT FEEL

YOU PASSED IT OFF LIKE IT WAS PART OF THE DEAL

I COULDN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE

SAID GOODBYE WHEN YOU WEREN'T THERE

PACKED MY THINGS AND LEFT YOU TO SEE

IF I COULD FIND THE OLD ME, I LEFT BEHIND

I DON'T MISS THE POISON

DON'T MISS THE CONTROL

THE MANIPULATION, TO SATISFY YOUR GOALS

LEFT YOU BEHIND, DON'T NEED YOUR KIND

IN MY LIFE WITH YOU, I SWALLOWED SO MUCH PAIN AND HATE 

I ALMOST LEFT IT TOO LATE

I WASN'T WRONG, ABOUT YOU ALL ALONG

DON'T KNOW WHY I WAITED SO LONG

UNTIL MY SOUL LAID BARE, NOBODY CARED

NOT MUCH LEFT OF ME, NO FUTURE I COULD SEE

I WASN'T EVEN LIVING FOR ME

COMES A TIME WHEN YOU KNOW

THAT IT'S TIME TO GO

ANOTHER HIGHWAY, ANOTHER LEARNING CURVE

JUST GLAD I GOT UP MY NERVE

I CAN SMILE NOW, I CAN BE MYSELF AGAIN

I CAN BE THE MAN I WAS MEANT TO BE

LIKE A BIRD FREED TO FLY

YOU NEVER FORGET HOW AND WHY

YOU LOOK UP TO THE SKY

 AND YOUR THANKFUL FOR THIS DAY

OUT OF DARK SHADOWS AND INTO THE SUN

OUT ON THE OCEAN, YOU'RE MAKING A RUN

FOR OPEN SEAS AND AZURE SKIES

FOR SIMPLE PLEASURES, I USED TO KNOW

HEY I'M BACK AGAIN, JUST THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW
