Hard to Say Goodbye - Patrick Jørgensen

I don’t think you understand the feeling that I get inside

When I see your cursive handwriting it’s like you’re still alive

I laugh and then I smile, it takes a while before I sink

It’s like a part of you is still among us sunk into the ink

I write you on a sheet, let my pen float like a river

I catch my thoughts in passing, let it dry of on the paper

Memories are fading since we no longer communicate

The silent treatments torturous was I the one who thought you this

Sorry for the times I locked the door and shut you out

Left the house without a word, I know the shit has kept you up

I woke up in the hospital, had finally had enough

And that’s about the time I took to hear you out bout stuff

I had a million questions pinching inside of my skull

Inside instincts insisted I invite you for a talk

Remember raising questions as to what your biggest dreams were

Your reply included me doing what I dream for

and that’s about the time I packed my bags and moved away

To go to collage, I acknowlege, got some knowlege on my way

And if it taught me something it’s that anything can happen

Any day can be the first and any day can be the last

Any day can be the best and any day can make you hurt

I’ve been putting in the hours best be with it in the end

Because I’m hanging loose but sitting tight

Realize that I did it might have spent a few years in silence just to make it

over night

Hard to say goodbye when the time flew us by

Reaching for the stars, see light in the sky

I can’t reach far so I keep you close

I try to hide it off but it often shows

Hard to say goodbye when the time flew us by

Reaching for the stars, see light in the sky

I can’t reach far so I keep you close

Try to hide it off but it often shows

It’s been a year now and things are looking better

since I had the time I took the time to write a letter

and even tho I can’t stick a postage stamp and send it

I hope I sing this high enough for heaven gates to hear it

You see what I’ve been tryin' to do is to make you proud

Just sorry you can’t witness when I stand before the crowd

i’m sticking by the words knowing damn well what I promised you

You told me that I could and I told you I would make it through

You said put in the hours and the effort ain’t for nothing

and now all of a sudden I’m in a competition

No doubt I’m feeling nervous like I’m staring at a gun

I got Nikes on my feet but it’s too late for me to run

and if I were to run my fate is all that I am running from

My fight is with myself, I swing for chances as they come

been giving it my all but it doesn’t make me number one

may not have reached it yet, I’ll write you when I’m done

Hard to say goodbye when the time flew us by

Reaching for the stars, see light in the sky

I can’t reach far so I keep you close

I try to hide it off but it often shows

Hard to say goodbye when the time flew us by

Reaching for the stars, see light in the sky

I can’t reach far so I keep you close

Try to hide it off but it often shows

Can’t reach far so I keep you close

I try to hide it off but it often shows

Can’t reach far so I keep you close

I try to hide it off but it often shows
