Words & Music by Carly Emerick & Hoyt Emerick
Verse 1:
I don’t know how I’m gonna live without you
You know how much I care about you
You fell apart like a broken toy
But the thought that you’re gone forever leaves me destroyed
Lead In 1:
My hands shake, my heart breaks but still I try (still I try)
to let you go into the light
I feel weak and helpless, choked up inside (choked up inside)
I don’t know how to say goodbye
Chorus:
I don’t know how to say goodbye (don’t know goodbye)
I don’t know how to say goodbye
Don’t know how to say goodbye
Verse 2:
I don’t know why I feel so damn numb
when I could cry a river and then some
Our time together was a precious gift
But I never could imagine it would end like this
Lead In 2:
My hands shake, my heart breaks but still I try (still I try)
To let you go in the fading light
I feel weak and helpless, choked up inside (choked up inside)
I don’t know how to say goodbye
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
I will miss you always in my dark despair
Yet I know you’re no longer there
The hands of time are spinning to you everyday
And every moment gets taken away, gets taken away
(Repeat Chorus)
