New Beginning

I always tried to go out of my way

to do everything to please you,

no matter how much I tried to

make you feel proud of me,

it was just wasted energy, so I gave up.

Every time I saw myself in the mirror,

I forgot the sense of myself,

the light in my eyes dimmed.

Good bye, goodbye

I have to keep moving forward,

despite there’s a chance I might lose you,

goodbye goodbye,

I have to live my life,

even though you are ashamed,

I’ll always keep your lessons close to me.

The small talks we had,

I’ll cherish them close to my heart,

even if I might be alone walking down this path

all the times we said “I love you” 

will give me strength to keep going.

I know this is hard for you as much it is for me,

but I can make you a promise,

that I’ll keep going even if I want to give up.

Good bye, goodbye

I have to keep moving forward,

despite there’s a chance I might lose you,

goodbye goodbye,

the old me is now older now,

and the light sparked back in my eyes.

Here I stand, facing my deepest fears,

but even if my fears come true

and you abandon me,

I’ll always will have you close to my heart,

I won’t give up, or do things to please you.

I’m older now and I have to live my life,

despite I’ll never plant another seed,

for a new life to start, 

I’ll always have a smile

even if tears may stream down my face.

Good bye, goodbye

I have to keep moving forward,

despite there’s a chance I might lose you,

goodbye goodbye,

the old me is now older now,

and the light sparked back in my eyes.
