Lyric

I called your name without a touch or sign

Tracing the last night, line by line

Unspoken words are swaying in my throat

As your smiling face begins to float

The words I chose were weak and never right

The more I acted strong, the more I lost the fight

"I’m doing fine," I said it first back then

It wasn't you, but me who played the part again

The warmth of our goodbye just won't fade away

With arms that can't let go, I hug the empty grey

I’m the one who chose to let your hand fall free

So why is every part of you still filling me?

I was just afraid of things begin to change

But staying as we were felt just as strange

No matter what I chose, I knew I’d leave a scar

Kindness was just an excuse to stay where we are

I’ll take the role of praying for your life

A happy future far away from all this strife

"You can forget me," I started to say

But swallowed back the words until the break of day

The warmth of our goodbye just won't fade away

Behind my closed eyelids, it’s breathing through the day

Every time my lonely fingers feel the cold

The "us" that fell apart begins to take its hold

I’m getting used to days without you near

And the memories get softer every year

I’m getting better at acting like I’m fine

But I still can't hate you, you’re still a part of mine (Ah)

I don't need the warmth of our goodbye anymore

Every time I say it, the heat begins to roar

I chose "goodbye" over "I love you" that day

I want to hold the man who chose to walk away
