From My Hands
Farewell Echoes: Embracing Change and Moving On
Lyrics
So much I thought I'd have to say
Expressing anticipation of expressing thoughts.
Though I try to speak, my meaning strays.
Struggling to articulate thoughts clearly.
We can't avoid the facts that brought us here.
Acknowledging unavoidable circumstances leading to the current situation.
I have come to say goodbye.
Announcing the intention to say farewell.
The lies I try to tell with my own eyes;
Attempting to deceive with one's own observations.
An act of pride, a willful compromise.
Committing to false pretenses willingly.
Please understand how torn I am
Expressing inner conflict when leaving.
When I walk away from here.
Acknowledging difficulty in walking away.
I lament the moments we won't share.
Expressing sorrow for missed moments.
If I am far too sentimental, I apologize.
Apologizing if perceived as overly sentimental.
Please understand this is who I am
Affirming authenticity and continuity of self.
And who I'll still be when I've walked away from here.
Stating persistence of identity after departure.
You know I'm not unkind
Asserting fairness in communication.
When I say in the future,
Clarifying the perspective on the past.
The past is just the past.
Emphasizing the irreversibility of the past.
No going back,
Rejecting the possibility of returning.
No change of heart
Denying a change of feelings.
But this is now,
Acknowledging the present moment.
Time will not differ.
Asserting the consistency of time.
My thoughts(?) betray, so easily confess(?)
Confessing vulnerability and betrayal in thoughts.
How long I'll wait here after you have gone.
Expressing uncertainty about waiting after departure.
Nothing ends(?) but I don't believe that now
Questioning the belief that nothing ends.
Please don't walk away from here.
Pleading not to leave.
I went alone and I remember days.
Reflecting on solitary experiences and memories.
Nothing will change a single fact(?) of who you were to me
Acknowledging the unchangeable impact of the person.
Oh, come what may, forever to the end
Accepting challenges and commitment until the end.
I find it so hard to let you go.
Expressing difficulty in letting go.
And hush now, let it go now
Encouraging release and acceptance.
There's no need for sad goodbyes.
Rejecting the need for sad farewells.
Hush now, let it go now
Reiterating the need to let go.
I know it's time to go.
Acknowledging the inevitability of departure.
Time to let this fall from my hands
Stating the necessity to let go of the situation.
