I sit here all alone
Drowning in the rain
I never thought one person
Could cause me so much pain.

The rain seems to fall
Syncronized with my tears
As I think of how you threw away
All of those most cherished years.

I hear it falling fast
Watch it flowing to the ground
It reminds me I'm without you
How I'm lost and never found.

I close my eyes and see you
And somehow I feel so scared
Thinking of our many memories
All the times that we once shared.

I remember how you used to sit
And hold me in the dark
And it makes it hard to figure out
Just what happened to that spark.

What happened to the promises
You made to never leave
All the nights we talked for hours
About the way our lives would be.

We made so many plans
For finally living on our own
To keep building our relationship
Start a family and home.

I know that we were young
But all of this still feels so real
And the feelings we once shared
Are ones that I'll forever feel.

If only I could change
The way things went that dreadful night
I would have never walked away
I would have never caused that fight.

I know you'll never love me
In the way I wish you would
But I pray to God you'd tell me
If you ever thought you could.

I don't know why your heart changed
And somehow it did not last
These painful thoughts of our future
No longer work out with the past.

But you know people change
And now I know that too
Because now you don't want me
Though I'll forever cherish you.

You taught me everything I know
How to stay strong and believe
How a bond between to people
Is the best gift to receive.

Don't tell me you can't say
A part of us will never die
Although I'm sure there comes a day
I'm finally out of tears to cry.

I thank God every evening
For just sending you to me
Even though it wasn't long enough
This must be how it's supposed to be.

And if only you could love me
In the way I wish you could
I would give up everything
If I only thought you would.

I try to think of what went wrong
I try to understand
And I remember that fun-loving feeling
Of merely holding your hand.

I think of how I'll miss you
How much it hurts to let you go
And how there are so many things
That I still want you to know.

If I had a million years
To say all there is to say
You know my love I would never
Have to leave you in this way.

I will never be the same
An equal love I'll never give
But now I must move on
And find a better life to live.

I thought we'd stick together
Up until the day we die
I never thought I'd give you
Such an early last good-bye.

But we both know I have to go
I can no longer stay
I have to turn around
And be strong and walk away.

And with our final words
I'd like to say I'm glad we met
And know a love like ours
Is one my heart will not forget.

So please do not forget me
Hold me close inside your heart
And do not think about the end
Just remember our perfect start.

Such an Early Last Good-Bye
