I Can't Say Goodbye

I can't say

Five steps in the front door
I feel you all around
One look to the left and
I see you

Smile as bright as sunlight
Eyes that see my soul
Standing frozen in time
I need you, I miss you

Can't I play pretend
Go back to when
I never cried

Here I am still drowning
In the tears you left behind
Seven years mean nothing
Now that you're gone, now that you're gone

Here I am still singing
I'm writing you this song
I'm praying that you hear me
Now that you're gone, now that you're gone
I just need more time
'Cause I can't say goodbye

Ask a million questions
Around and round I go
Trying to remember
Would it be different if I'd known (if I'd known)

Can't I play pretend
Go back to when
I never cried

Here I am still drowning
In the tears you left behind
Seven years mean nothing
Now that you're gone, now that you're gone

Here I am still singing
I'm writing you this song
Praying that you hear me
Now that you're gone, now that you're gone
I just need more time
'Cause I can't say goodbye

Should never come this soon
Just one more day to spend with you
I need a chance to hit redo
Do all the things I promised you
I'd tell you you can talk to me
Take all the pain and set you free
From everything I couldn't see
I'm begging not to leave

Here I am still drowning
In the tears you left behind
Seven years mean nothing
Now that you're gone, and now that you're gone

Here I am still singing (singing)
I'm writing you this song (singing you my song)
I'm praying that you hear me
Now that you're gone, now that you're gone
I just need more time
'Cause I can't say goodbye

No, no
I can't say goodbye
Oh-oh
I can't say
