Keep Saying Goodbye

There's always a sign

I still remember the way it felt back then
When my world came crashing down
When death was at your doorstep
Ready to stand his ground
I'll never forget the way it felt
To see you lying there
No light left in your eyes
The room was so silent
I've never felt so helpless

You'll never have to be alone
You don't even have to be alright
'Cause I'll be right here beside you
It doesn't matter how long it takes
How long it takes

I've spent days, weeks or months at a time
Where I'm fine, but then it floods back
Every fear, every thought and emotion
There's always some way to tell you're not okay
Whether it's the words you say
How you act throughout the day
I've taken the time to learn the signs
To be there when I hear your cries

You'll never have to be alone
You don't even have to be alright
'Cause I'll be right here beside you
It doesn't matter how long it takes
To help you through this nightmare

We often say goodbye
And I trust you not to die
But what if that goodbye was the last time?
Will my conscience tear me apart
Or be content with how much I've tried?

Have I done enough?
Have I done too much?
Did I miss some of the signs?
This pain and struggle that I suffer
Is worth it if it keeps you in my life

Nobody really knows what the future has to say
But I know that I'll support you
Until the end of my own days
