Mason’s Goodbye

Isn't it funny how we seem to forget
What we think we love the most?
Just the other day I was listening to your favorite song
And I sang the words wrong

And that's how it felt
The last time I said your name

So this is goodbye
The one I never got to say
The night I wept in your room
When you went away
And this is goodbye
The one I held back in my throat
The last time we were alone

I guess I just thought you would stay

And I still remember
When I told you I was leaving
Those words you said
They are protected by my heart
And embedded in my head
You said
"We've got to do everything there is to do"
We've got to do everything there is to do

And I'm still hoping that one day
We'll do all of those things
I'm still counting on one day
But I know, I know

That this is goodbye
The one I didn't get to say
When I was getting on that plane
And I'm sorry I left all your things
On my doorstep, the night I left
And I should've done all those things

But this is goodbye
The one that I was too scared to say
I hope it's not too late
Hope it's not too late
