A Soft Goodbye

Verse 1]
I don’t miss you like I used to
It’s quieter inside my chest
All the words we never said out loud
Finally laid to rest

We were loud in all the wrong ways
Soft in all the ways we fell
Now I’m learning how to let things go
Without any malice, I’m wishing you well

[Pre-Chorus]
No more waiting by the phone
No more rewriting what we know

[Chorus]
This is my soft goodbye
No tears, no reasons why
Just a slow fading of our light, the source
I’m not bitter, I’m alright
Just letting you leave my life
Like a song we don’t sing anymore

My soft goodbye
No more lies

[Verse 2]
I kept pieces of your shadow
Like they meant something to hold
But they don’t fit me anymore
It ‘s now time for me to go

And I think I understand it now
We weren’t meant to stay
Some things don’t blow-up or fall apart
They just slowly drift away

[Pre-Chorus]
No more pulling me back in
No more wondering what could’ve been

[Chorus]
This is my soft goodbye
No tears, no reasons why
Just a slow fading of our light, the source
I’m not broken, I’m alright
Just letting you leave my life
Like a song we don’t sing anymore

My soft goodbye
No more lies

[Bridge]
And maybe love isn’t loss
Maybe it’s just letting go
No more wondering why
No more needing to know

[Final Chorus / Outro]
So this is my soft goodbye
I stopped asking why
I’m finally lighter you no longer deserve my trust
Not a scar, not a fight
Just a calm and quiet night
Where I choose myself instead of holding on to us

My soft goodbye
No more lies

Just a soft goodbye…
