If this is goodbye

My famous last words

Are laying around in tatters

Sounding absurd

Whatever I try

But I love you

And that's all that really matters

If this is goodbye

If this is goodbye

Your bright shining sun

Would light up the way before me

You were the one

Made me feel I could fly

And I love you

Whatever is waiting for me

If this is goodbye

If this is goodbye

Who knows how long we've got

Or what were made out of

Who knows if there's a plan or not

There is our love

I know there is our love

My famous last words

Could never tell the story

Spinning unheard

In the dark of the sky

But I love you

And this is our glory

If this is goodbye

If this is goodbye
