Just One Word.

Just one word

And I felt my whole world fall
I felt my heart shatter
And my body collapse

Goodbye

You had me at 'Hello'

Just one word
Just one year ago

You were just another guy
Another face in the crowd
Another name for the memory bank

But one word grew to more words
And more words filled my mind
And my heart

Just from one word.

Who knew the pain that was in store
How many tears to be shed
Empty bottles, sleepless nights

Goodbye

Like an echo
Haunting, taunting
Calling out to me

I wanna reach for you
And hold you close
I want to feel your smile
And breathe your laugh

I want you to take away that 'goodbye'
And tell me 'hello'
Just one word
And you can give me back my world
