Slow Goodbye Lyrics

Slow Goodbye

You left your sweater here last night,

Like a memory wrapped in something tight.

I don't want to hold it, but I can't let it go,

Still feeling traces of you I shouldn't know.

I told myself I'd be just fine,

That I could walk away, take my time.

But it's harder than I thought it'd be,

Losing you so gradually.

It's a slow goodbye, a little more each day,

I pack up the pieces, try to put them away.

Every memory's like a splinter in my mind,

Pulling me back to when you were mine.

It's a slow goodbye, but I know I'll be alright.

The echoes of our favorite song,

Keep coming back like we never went wrong.

And every word you ever said,

Lingers here in my empty bed.

I told myself it wouldn't hurt this bad,

That moving on was something I had.

But every step feels like a weight,

Holding on to love too late.

It's a slow goodbye, a little more each day,

I pack up the pieces, try to put them away.

Every memory's like a splinter in my mind,

Pulling me back to when you were mine.

It's a slow goodbye, but I know I'll be alright.

And I'll breathe you out, a little at a time,

Erase the chapters that we left behind.

But some parts stay, no matter how far,

Like a faded bruise or a broken star.

It's a slow goodbye, a little more each day,

I pack up the pieces, try to put them away.

Every memory's like a splinter in my mind,

Pulling me back to when you were mine.

It's a slow goodbye, but I know I'll be alright.

Someday, I'll forget the way you said my name,

And how every touch set my heart aflame.

It's a slow goodbye, and though it's hard to see,

I'll find a way to set you free from me.
