Say Goodbye

Oh how I miss you
You left us oh so soon

Oh how I miss you
I hope to see you soon
I wrote you a letter
Maybe two
So you know just how I feel
When you are drinking behind the wheel of a car

After you told me you burned them
I gave up on you
Started drinking in the afternoon
Drunk by midnight
Sometimes noon

Then you wrote us a letter
But it did not sound like you
You would have an Old Milwaukee
I would have a Mountain Dew

Oh how I miss you
Left us oh so soon
Oh how I miss you
I know you miss me too

Used to go watch the sunset
And you would say
You know I love you
And I love you too

Sat me down for a talk
Telling me your heart was due
I did not understand
It was all up to you

Then you pulled the trigger
And it was through
I wished you gave me
A better clue to
What you were about to do

Oh how I miss you
You left us oh so soon
Oh how I miss you
My brother and sisters do too

We used to go eat at the bar
Now I just play my guitar
that is all over now
Try to ease the pain of who we are

Try to change the past
Never get very far
Cannot heal that scar
That scar that cut me
Oh so deep
Oh yes it did
So deep it hurt

Now I am writing this poem for you
Hoping it will get me through
My days without you
That is what I got to do

We would laugh
We would cry
But I never thought you would
say goodbye
I never thought I would have to go through my life
Without you on my side

So I guess I will just say goodbye
Just say goodbye
Just say goodbye for now
But I will see you
When I die
