The night I sat by my window
Was the night that we said goodbye.
It was the night when I lost myself
The night when I cried and cried until my eyes ran dry.

The night I sat by my window
Was the night that we said goodbye
It was the night when I watched my every possession fly across my bedroom,
the night that I tried to cover my body with scratches and wounds,
hoping that the physical pain would make me numb
just so I couldn’t feel that familiar pain in my chest anymore.

The night I sat by my window
Was the night I called and called for your name
Wishing you’d forgive me for letting this happen to us.
I just couldn’t stop blaming myself
because I know that there is no one else to blame
than the fool who chose to say goodbye without even hesitating.

The night I sat by my window
Was the night that I just hugged my pillow wishing it was you
Wishing that it was all just a nightmare that I would soon wake up to
Wishing to see you by my side whispering that it’s okay
Wishing to see you by my side reassuring me that you are there to stay.

The night I sat by my window
Was the night that we said goodbye
I stayed there whispering how much I love you even for one last time
Telling you how much you mean to me
That was why I did what I had to do and that was to set you free.

The night I sat by my window
Was the night that I said goodbye
I waited for sleep to come and get me

I waited and waited as I wished to never again open my eyes.
