so he says

2007

"let it go girl" 

he said to me

"skip formality,

fall in love"

now i'm bruised as i lie here

because of him

i have nothing to fear

"i look into your eyes" 

he tells me

"babe i can see your soul"

"it's an old one" 

is my reply

older than he'll ever know

his pictures are still on the wall

he's how i get by

his sweatshirt's the one i wear

to bed at night

but maybe

it's time to say goodbye

goodbye to you

"will you be there" 

he asks me

"every day when i come home"

"forever and always"

i say to him 

"forever and always my love" 

"i'll treat you right" 

he used to say

"all i have are these knots and you"

those were just words

and promises

oh how i wish he'd follow through

his pictures are still on the wall

he's how i get by

his sweatshirt's the one i wear

to bed at night

but maybe

it's time to say goodbye

goodbye to you

"i won't ever let you down" 

he says 

"you just mean too much to me"

well isn't that the way 

it's supposed to go

isn't that how it should be

"everything will be alright" 

he said

"we'll be fine just you and me.

i got two jobs and i can pay the rent

we'll be fine

we'll be fine"

his pictures are still on the wall

he's how i get by

his sweatshirt's the one i wear

to bed at night

but maybe

it's time to say goodbye

goodbye to you
