Time has come
For me to let go
Of the things that hurt me and you
Of the things that made us suffer
Like an old guitar
Slowly losing its strings
Running out of tune
These feelings we once harbored
Are now fading
Like the last notes of a song
It is a shame
That we have to separate ways
That we're now on our own
You and I are now nothing
But an old memory
A black and white photograph
Slowly fading into the background
I'm so sorry for this goodbye
We both know it's for the best
Because if we keep up this love
I'm afraid we'll both sink deeper
Into the depths of pain
And endless melancholy
So now, our hands are drifting away
My eyes brimming with tears
Your lips turning into a frown
Our hearts slowing its beat
We bid farewell to our past
We leave all the pain behind
As we approach a new day
A new tomorrow
A new future
Without the warmth
Of each other's embrace
The burning presence
Of each other's company
And the glowing love
That we once shared
Still, I thank you
You made me love
Like no other has done
Let's not be too bitter
About this separation
Because good things
Await us in the end
Of this tragic story
We'll be the very best of ourselves
Even without each other
Goodbye, my sweet love
Happiness is on its way
To make us smile again.
