The end It's almost upon me Approaching like a cheetah I cannot escape The night I get dressed up With a gown around me The hat on my head The tassels The cords around my neck Strangling me Making it hard to breathe The words escaping I don't want this night to come The stage lights producing sweat As I walk across to receive a piece of paper Saying I made it I survived I'm meant to celebrate The end of my journey The end of the hell All my classmates put me through But that night When I move my tassel Will be the beginning Of my goodbyes There have been very few To be by my side To encourage me To love me While some leave with me To places unknown I must leave some back To survive alone in this ring of fire I won't survive the night Without tears down my face Without choking on my words My fears How do you tell someone That you love them And that they alone Have helped you live No one said goodbyes were easy But now I know what they mean I feel it in my heart The emptiness The loneliness So I walk towards my teacher Thinking about my friends Grab the diploma And cry

No One Said Goodbyes Were Easy
The end It's almost upon me Approaching like a cheetah I cannot escape The night I get dressed up With a gown around me The hat on my head The tassels The cords around my neck Strangling me Making it hard to breathe The words escaping I don't want this night to come The stage lights producing sweat As I walk across to receive a piece of paper Saying I made it I survived I'm meant to celebrate The end of my journey The end of the hell All my classmates put me through But that night When I move my tassel Will be the beginning Of my goodbyes There have been very few To be by my side To encourage me To love me While some leave with me To places unknown I must leave some back To survive alone in this ring of fire I won't survive the night Without tears down my face Without choking on my words My fears How do you tell someone That you love them And that they alone Have helped you live No one said goodbyes were easy But now I know what they mean I feel it in my heart The emptiness The loneliness So I walk towards my teacher Thinking about my friends Grab the diploma And cry
