Fading Afrobeats Goodbye
I still know the way you say my name,
Like nothing ever changed,
like we’re still the same.
I still reach for my phone
when the night gets cold,
Then I remember there’s nothing left to hold.
Your pictures are hiding in my gallery,
Little pieces of what you used to be.
I smile at the memories,
then I look away,
’Cause loving you still hurts in a beautiful way.
I thought forever meant we’d never end,
I thought my lover would always be my friend.
But sometimes two hearts can love so true,
And still not know what they’re supposed to do.
So goodbye,
my love,
I’ll miss you more than words can say.
You were my home,
you were my heart,
Now I’m learning how to walk away.
And it hurts, but I’m okay,
At least that’s what I tell myself today.
I lost the love I wanted for life,
But I’m grateful that you were once mine.
It’s a bittersweet goodbye.
I remember the nights we stayed up talking,
All the little dreams we kept on building.
We promised we would make it through the rain,
But promises can’t always stop the pain.
Maybe I was too afraid to lose you,
So I held on tighter than I should do.
Maybe you were tired of carrying us,
Maybe love alone just wasn’t enough.
Maybe someday I’ll hear your name
And it won’t bring back all this pain.
Maybe I’ll see you smiling somewhere,
And thank God that I once had you there.
I won’t hate you for leaving me,
I won’t blame you for choosing peace.
And if loving you was a chapter,
Then I’ll turn the page with tears in my eyes.
So goodbye,
my love,
I’ll miss you more than words can say.
You were my home,
you were my heart,
Now I’m learning how to live without your name.
And it hurts, but I’m okay,
Even if I have to fake it for a day.
I lost the love I wanted for life,
But I’ll never
regret that you were mine.
I’ll carry you softly,
But I won’t hold you tight.
Some endings break you,
Some endings set you free.
And ours will always be… A little pain,
A little love, A little memory… A bittersweet goodbye.
(bye-bye,
bye-bye)
