Holding On to Goodbye - ArlenaZara
I see your shadow in every doorway
Hear your laughter in the quiet halls
I reach for memories that slip away
Like water through my hands they fall
I whispered love when you were leaving
Held your hand even as you turned
Every heartbeat was a silent plea
But you left and I burned
I know the time has come to let go
But my heart refuses to comply
I'm caught between the love I had
And the sorrow in goodbye
I'm holding on to goodbye
Clinging to the echoes of your eyes
I know you're gone but I can't release
The love that still won't let me be
Every tear tells a story untold
Of a heart that's breaking slow
I'm holding on to goodbye
Even though I know I must let go
I hear your voice in every silence
Feel your touch in every breeze
The world moves on but I'm frozen
In the space where you used to be
I keep replaying the words unsaid
The promises that fell away
I'm learning how to walk alone
While my heart refuses to obey
I thought love would last forever
But forever slipped right through
I'm trapped in the moments we had
Still holding on to you
I'm holding on to goodbye
Clinging to the echoes of your eyes
I know you're gone but I can't release
The love that still won't let me be
Every tear tells a story untold
Of a heart that's breaking slow
I'm holding on to goodbye
Even though I know I must let go
Maybe one day the pain will fade
And I'll find peace in the rain
But tonight I'm still here
Drowning in love and pain
I'll whisper your name in the dark
And hope it reaches the sky
Even if I must let you go
I'll keep holding on to goodbye
I'm holding on to goodbye
Clinging to the echoes of your eyes
I know you're gone but I can't release
The love that still won't let me be
Every tear tells a story untold
Of a heart that's breaking slow
I'm holding on to goodbye
Even though I know I must let go
Holding on
to goodbye
