To Say No More Goodbyes Lyrics

Some friends I had are gone

The only way that I can see them

Is in my sleep at night

If I ain't had too much to drink that day

Though these days that's my fight

And as the years grow short

I hear the echoes of their company

As they rest beneath my feet

Till a dream confuses me

And I wonder how I've seen the family of my way

For a while

There's a moment where we sit

Or I meet them in a rush

And try to tell them everything

But its all just in my brain though it feels real

In the last one my friend

Met my hand but they seemed sad

To find me in

My coffin of this thought

I can't close

And I asked if they were real

And they said Yeah

Of these new friends I stay far

Keep myself in shallow water

So as to say no more goodbyes

Avoid looking into eyes I could lose

Plus I haven't much to say anymore

But some tell me I belong

That I think that I have wronged by living

That a life can die before

But you're allowed to ask for more

Then was given to your better

For a while

I can I crack a joke or two

But then I leave to breathe it through

And sip nostalgia to the lie of better days

Though I find

That I treat my time as wealth

I get tried of counting self

And wonder if I'm shutting out

The family of my way

It's leading me farther

I'm fleeing from my life

They won't be around forever

But their love is here now
