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
