How To Say Goodbye

I don't know how to say goodbye
something I thought I'd never have to do-
figured I'd be a permanent fixture
always, in some way, live life with you.

But on the other hand, deep down I knew
that it would all have to end someday-
I was sure it would be for my dying
didn't think it could end any other way.

I'm not sure how to live without you
how to deal with a loss that great-
and go on with life, full and happy
with things I want before too late.

But all I want now is to stay
here with you until the day I die-
I'd never remember how to cry,
I'd never forget how to fly,
and I'd never have to learn
how to say goodbye.
