"Playing Goodbyes"

I know what they say
If you love it, let it go
And if the love is true
It will come running back to you

I know you can't give God deadlines
Everything in it's time
I know you can't turn back time
So why not just move ahead?

And tonight I just sit here
Playing goodbyes in my head
Goodbyes that we never said
And I finally understand...

I know what they say
Live a life without regret
And don't you never look back
What's done is dead and gone

I know I need to accept my blame
I do know what I have done wrong
I will carry this cross to my grave
It's the only way I can move on

And tonight I just sit here
Playing goodbyes in my head
Goodbyes that were never said
And I finally understand...

This urgency I've always felt
Was to put it all back together
No, nothing could be gone forever
If I only make it back in time

There is no time
There is no end
You can never bring it back again
It was all your fault
It was not your choice
You can't fix a damn thing now
But you can start all over again...

And tonight I just sit here
Playing goodbyes in my head
Goodbyes that we never said
Though I finally understand...

I know what they say
If you love it, let it go
And if the love is true
It will come running back to you

I know that dreams never die
And they don't run out of time
I will learn to release control
Pray for guidance in this stronger role...

For tonight I just sit here
Playing goodbyes in my head
Goodbyes that we never said
But I finally understand...

Tonight I just sit here
Playing goodbyes in my head
Goodbyes that don't need to be said
And I finally, understand...
