Goodbye (Studio)

Lyrics

if youre hearing this then
youre probably snoopin through my phone again
I hope your smilin at the notes I meant
an laughin at the jokes I dint
the stupid messes I got myself in
an where Id written out my hopes and plans
where I wrote all the tropes I had
jotted when life got hard and started feelin strange again

if youre hearing this then
you probably cant hold my hand again
you likely cant hear my voice or feel my skin
and I no longer fill our bed where
we spent night after night of our days tucked in

youll feel it first before you think
so dont let it hurt when your hands cross the sheets
dont let it hurt when you grab a cup from the cupboard for me
dont let it stop your breathin, an
dont stand in the kitchen quiet as death, cos
that dont mean were gone and nothins left
its just proof that our loves still inside of you
and its got the lights on

so when the world goes slow an the nights feel wrong
dont count the aches or hours gone
just count the times that you say my name
I promise Ill see you again Kate, and it wont be long

this aint goodbye, princess
but damn, I sure am gonna fucking miss this
miss the way you say my name, I wish this
life could permit these few minutes so I could fix this
its not fair to begin with, but if I could come back an witness
the little things you did piece by piece
cos those little things though discreet
are what made my whole life feel complete

if youre hearing this then
youll remember us realistic
not in the grand parts, just the life we lived in
the tired nights, the rougher days
the times we bent and didnt break
and if you ever doubt what you were to me
or if I saw how much you had to prove
I saw the way you held this family up
without askin to be seen
for everything you do

if youre hearing this then
say my name like it still lives in you
dont let me fade to somethin out of reach
tell the kids the things that made me laugh
the things I held, the things that came too deep
and when they ask what love is meant to be
dont give em perfect, give em somethin true
tell em love is choice and work and pain
and pass along what life made out of me and you

so when the world goes slow an the nights feel wrong
dont count the aches or hours gone
just count the times that you say my name
I promise Ill see you again Kate, and it wont be long

this aint goodbye, princess
but damn, I sure am gonna fucking miss this
miss the way you say my name, I wish this
life could permit these few minutes so I could fix this
its not fair to begin with, but if I could come back an witness
the little things you did piece by piece
cos those little things though discreet
are what made my whole life feel complete

if youre hearing this then
know that you are allowed to keep livin
allowed to laugh again
allowed to build a different future
than the one we wrote back then
and if you love again one day
that dont undo what we were
it dont replace my hands on yours
it just means you survived the hurt

so tell them there was love before them
tell them I was part of you
not like some weight that haunts the room
just like a truth you carried through
tell them your life did not begin
the day they learned your name
youve got a history, kids, a home
an every part of that still stays the same

and if theyre good, theyll understand
they wont compete with what we had
theyll know that lovin you means too
respectin all the years we stacked
tell them Id want you treated kindly
with patience, safety, something true
and if theres somethin past this world
tell them Ill still be keepin watch on you

Ill miss seeing my name on your wrist written like we were kids
miss my goodnight kiss an the way your whole face lit
but if theres somewhere after this Ill be waitin there for you my beautiful princess

this aint goodbye, princess
but damn, I sure am gonna fucking miss this
miss the way you say my name, I wish this
life could permit these few minutes so I could fix this
