Intro

Verse 1

 So much I thought, I'd have to say

 though I try to speak, my meaning strays

 We can't avoid the facts that brought us here

 I have come to say goodbye

Verse 2

 The lies I try to tell with my own eyes

 An act of pride, a wilful compromise

 Please understand how torn I am

 when I walk away from here

Verse 3

 I lament the moments we won't share

 If I am far too sentimental, I apologise

 Please understand, this is who I am

 and who I'll still be when I've walked away from here

Bridge

 You know - I am not unkind,

 when I say: in the future, the past is just the past

 No going back, no change of heart

 But this is now. Time will not defer

Verse 4

 My thoughts betray, so easily confess,

 how long I'll wait here after you have gone

 Nothing ends but I don't believe that now

 Please don't walk away from here

Verse 5

 When alone, when I remember days,

 nothing will change a single fact of who you were to me

 Oh, come what may, forever to the end

 I find it so hard to let you go

Outro

Hush now, Let it go now

 There's no need for sad goodbyes

Hush now, Let it go now

 I know it's time to go

Time to let this fall from my hands
