say goodbye

I open up the drawer Next to the old cord couch I start to feel the warmth As the sun shines into your house The dust begins to glow As it rises to the ceiling While I sit down below Looking at pictures, disbelieving We used to do this all the time But now it means good...(bye) I won't say goodbye 'Cause there's a piece of you inside of me I refuse to let it die It will always be a part of me As long as I'm alive I'll keep you in my memory As long as I'm alive I won't say goodbye I read through your old journals I see the notes become more sparse When I was still a child Is where most of them are All the things we did together Or when I stayed home from school Next to notes about the weather And the phases of the moon You used to write all of this down But now you're not around I won't say goodbye 'Cause there's a piece of you inside of me I refuse to let it die It will always be a part of me As long as I'm alive I'll keep you in my memory As long as I'm alive I won't say goodbye I can't lie It doesn't feel the same without you here It's not right That you're up there and I'm down here with tears In my eyes Wishing I could just turn back the years To the time When we would spend our afternoons in here I won't say goodbye 'Cause there's a piece of you inside of me I refuse to let it die It will always be a part of me As long as I'm alive I'll keep you in my memory As long as I'm alive I won't say goodbye I won't say goodbye 'Cause there's a piece of you inside of me I refuse to let it die It will always be a part of me As long as I'm alive I'll carry on your legacy As long as I'm alive I won't say goodbye
