Not Ready to Say Goodbye
Eternal Longing: Kenzie Jade's Heartfelt Tribute to Unforgettable Love
Lyrics
I remember the sound of your breathing
I recall the audible presence of your breath
Feeling your heartbeat next to mine
Sensing your heartbeat alongside mine
I wish I could bring back that feeling
I yearn to revive that sensation
You were taken away too soon, long before your time
You were taken away prematurely, before your allotted time
You were the first one to give me freedom
You were the initial source of my liberation
First one to show me what love really means
The first to reveal the true meaning of love
And you picked up the pieces when I was broken inside
You assisted in mending me when I was shattered inside
You took my hand and pulled me out of the darkness
You grabbed my hand and rescued me from the darkness
Lifted me up when life was the hardest
Lifted me during life's most challenging moments
And now that you're gone, I don't know how I'll survive
Now that you're no longer here, I'm uncertain of my survival
I'm not ready to let go, not ready to say goodbye
I'm not prepared to release, not prepared to bid farewell
I wish I were there with you in heaven
I desire to be with you in heaven
Where the streets are gold and the water's still
Where the streets are paved with gold and the waters are serene
Cuz down here on earth I can only see you in my reflection
Because on earth, I can only perceive you in my reflection
I don't know if we'll meet again, but I pray some day we will
I don't know if we'll reunite, but I pray for it someday
You were the first one to give me freedom
You were the initial source of my liberation (repeated)
First one to show me what love really means
The first to reveal the true meaning of love (repeated)
And you picked up the pieces when I was broken inside
You assisted in mending me when I was shattered inside (repeated)
You took my hand and pulled me out of the darkness
You grabbed my hand and rescued me from the darkness (repeated)
Lifted me up when life was the hardest
Lifted me during life's most challenging moments (repeated)
And now that you're gone, I don't know how I'll survive
Now that you're no longer here, I'm uncertain of my survival (repeated)
I'm not ready to let go, not ready to say goodbye
I'm not prepared to release, not prepared to bid farewell (repeated)
I try to tell myself that my broken heart will heal
I attempt to convince myself that my broken heart will mend
And that I'll learn to live with my grief
And that I'll adapt to living with my sorrow
But late at night in the dark, It's not the way I feel
But in the dark of night, it doesn't reflect how I truly feel
When I cry myself to sleep
When I weep myself to sleep
You were the first one to give me freedom
You were the initial source of my liberation (repeated)
First one to show me what love really means
The first to reveal the true meaning of love (repeated)
And you picked up the pieces when I was broken inside
You assisted in mending me when I was shattered inside (repeated)
You took my hand and pulled me out of the darkness
You grabbed my hand and rescued me from the darkness (repeated)
Lifted me up when life was the hardest
Lifted me during life's most challenging moments (repeated)
And now that you're gone, I don't know how I'll survive
Now that you're no longer here, I'm uncertain of my survival (repeated)
I'm not ready to let go, not ready to say
I'm not prepared to release, not prepared to say
Not ready to let go, not ready to say
Not prepared to release, not prepared to say
Not ready to let go, not ready to say goodbye
Not prepared to release, not prepared to bid farewell
Not ready to let go, not ready to say goodbye
