The Longest Goodbye

If all these walls could talk
You wouldn't hear a thing
'Cuz all I do is cry
And no one is listening

I don't know where you stop
'Cuz you bleed through everything
I think this might take my whole life
You're the longest goodbye

Thought that I knew you better
Guess nothin' lasts forever
But you still take up all my time
The longest goodbye
Just 'cuz I never see you
Don't mean I learned to leave you
And all the love we left behind

I find you here and there
When I'm tryin' to forget
Even though I'll always care about you
I still wish we never met

And I hope you know I meant it
Even though you don't deserve it
But for now my door's still open wide
You're the longest goodbye

Thought that I knew you better
Guess nothin' last forever
But you still take up all my time
The longest goodbye
Just 'cuz I never see you
Don't mean I learned to leave you
And all the love we left behind

California's beautiful
But I might just let you have it
'Cuz there's a whole wide world outside of me and you
And maybe in another life we'll
Find out why this happened
And why there's always more of you to lose

Thought that I knew you better
Guess nothin' last forever
But you still take up all my time
The longest goodbye
Just 'cuz I never see you
Don't mean I learned to leave you
And all the love we left behind
You're the longest goodbye
Goodbye, hmmm

And it might not look like it
But for what its worth I'm tryin'
This might take me my whole life
You're the longest goodbye
