Another Wasted Word

saying goodbye everyday
checked to make it okay
keeping emotions at bay
left with everything to say

everything but goodbye
never knowing why
with a big long sigh
I move on, looking at the sky

beaten into my soul
printed, inked in coal
its taken its toll
broken, a crack on a bowl

wash away the fear
wipe away the tear
you forget that I'm near
forgetting it year after year

I told you a lie
told you, you could fly
in the sky, with the birds so high
you jumped, I said goodbye
