Going Away Is So Hard

Verse 1
So it's time now, I've got to go,
Like a bullet from an unseen foe.
Thought this battle had finally passed,
Never dreamed the shadows could last.
I climbed out of the life I knew,
Built a world that finally felt true.
Why now must I put things in line?
Why does death come asking this time?
Pre-Chorus
All my life it walked beside me,
Waiting for the day it'd find me.
Now I've found a place called home...
Why can't it just leave me alone?
Chorus
Wait a moment for our love,
Hold on tight to what we've become.
Remember where we stand right now,
Don't let forever end somehow.
I can't just leave you here alone,
There's still a life we've never known.
After all we've struggled through,
I've only just found me... and you.
Verse 2
Years passed just like a stone,
Carrying pain I'd always known.
Loneliness became my name,
Every sunrise looked the same.
Death was always closest by,
Whispering, "Lay your burdens down."
I thought I'd finally won somehow...
Why has it returned right now?
Bridge
The words from yesterday remain,
Echoes carved into my brain.
Voices calling through the dark,
Trying hard to steal my heart.
Underneath a painted sky,
I don't want to say goodbye.
I'm sorry if I have to go,
There's so much you'll never know.
Final Chorus
Wait a moment for our love,
Take this time to lift your eyes above.
Look at all we've come to be,
This is where I long to be.
The past still slings its hardest blow,
Trying hard to steal my soul.
But if I leave, please understand...
I was finally learning how to live again.
Outro
Going away is so hard...
When you've finally found a reason to stay.
