Lyrics Patrick Jørgensen – Hard To Say Goodbye

Text:

I don’t think you understand the feeling that I get inside
When I see your cursive handwriting it’s like you’re still alive
I laugh and then I smile, it takes a while before I sink
It’s like a part of you is still among us sunk into the ink

I write you on a sheet, let my pen float like a river
I catch my thoughts in passing, let it dry of on the paper
Memories are fading since we no longer communicate
The silent treatments torturous was I the one who thought you this
Sorry for the times I locked the door and shut you out
Left the house without a word, I know the shit has kept you up
I woke up in the hospital, had finally had enough
And that’s about the time I took to hear you out bout stuff

I had a million questions pinching inside of my skull
Inside instincts insisted I invite you for a talk
Remember raising questions as to what your biggest dreams were
Your reply included me doing what I dream for
and that’s about the time I packed my bags and moved away
To go to collage, I acknowlege, got some knowlege on my way
And if it taught me something it’s that anything can happen
Any day can be the first and any day can be the last
Any day can be the best and any day can make you hurt
I’ve been putting in the hours best be with it in the end
Because I’m hanging loose but sitting tight
Realize that I did it might have spent a few years in silence just to make it over night

Hard to say goodbye when the time flew us by
Reaching for the stars, see light in the sky
I can’t reach far so I keep you close
I try to hide it off but it often shows
Hard to say goodbye when the time flew us by
Reaching for the stars, see light in the sky

I can’t reach far so I keep you close
Try to hide it off but it often shows

It’s been a year now and things are looking better
since I had the time I took the time to write a letter
and even tho I can’t stick a postage stamp and send it
I hope I sing this high enough for heaven gates to hear it
You see what I’ve been tryin’ to do is to make you proud
Just sorry you can’t witness when I stand before the crowd
i’m sticking by the words knowing damn well what I promised you
You told me that I could and I told you I would make it through
You said put in the hours and the effort ain’t for nothing
and now all of a sudden I’m in a competition
No doubt I’m feeling nervous like I’m staring at a gun
I got Nikes on my feet but it’s too late for me to run
and if I were to run my fate is all that I am running from
My fight is with myself, I swing for chances as they come
been giving it my all but it doesn’t make me number one
may not have reached it yet, I’ll write you when I’m done

Hard to say goodbye when the time flew us by
Reaching for the stars, see light in the sky
I can’t reach far so I keep you close
I try to hide it off but it often shows
Hard to say goodbye when the time flew us by
Reaching for the stars, see light in the sky
I can’t reach far so I keep you close
Try to hide it off but it often shows

Can’t reach far so I keep you close
I try to hide it off but it often shows

Can’t reach far so I keep you close
I try to hide it off but it often shows
