Say Goodbye - Katie Thompson

i am seeing my life in a way i had not

awake through your eyes in a way i forgot

you created a home filled with love and respect

i abused it at times, made it hard to connect

and each piece of my life has been proof of threat

and the things i can’t change i don’t want to forget

say goodbye to the girl who was scared to let go not who’s yearning to see life outside the unknown

i am destined to prove i am ready to fly

show me how to say goodbye

to the old…

i made work my life, wouldn’t settle for less

always fought hard to prove that i’d be the best

i closed down my heart, love could not come inside

that’s the moment i felt the old me start to die

a career on the rise, no one else to protect

i started shedding my skin till there was none of me left

say farewell to that girl who’s forgotten her pride

say hello to the girl who is rising inside

she won’t hold back my life, can’t sit here and repent

show me how to say goodbye…

there was a life within me, but then it started fading

i lost the someone i had always dreamed i’d be i need to stop pretending

but i can’t change my ending

you’d never let my spirit die this way

who says goodbye when life’s just beginning?

say hello to the world that i thought that was there

was a prisoner inside now i’m breathing the air

yesterday’s old cocoon will hatch a new butterfly

show me how to say goodbye

to the old…

and welcome the new
