You were never one for goodbyes
Never ever would take it slow
Always had that gleam in your eyes
Followed by a bluish glow.
You never could say goodbye
When they went and took your home
You hated the food with all your might
When you went to the nursing home.
I didn't get to say goodbye
Enough when it was time to go
That was the last time you'd say "Hi!"
If only I had known.
The reaper said to say goodbye
When we sat at down your funeral
I could hardly look into your eyes
You broke me, I will never be whole.
Now I cannot say goodbye
Can't dig you up out of your tomb
Telling myself that I'm alright
Trapping myself in my room.

You were never one for goodbyes
Never ever would take it slow
Always had that gleam in your eyes
Followed by a bluish glow.
You never could say goodbye
When they went and took your home
You hated the food with all your might
When you went to the nursing home.
I didn't get to say goodbye
Enough when it was time to go
That was the last time you'd say "Hi!"
If only I had known.
The reaper said to say goodbye
When we sat at down your funeral
I could hardly look into your eyes
You broke me, I will never be whole.
Now I cannot say goodbye
Can't dig you up out of your tomb
Telling myself that I'm alright
Trapping myself in my room.
