The morning light feels colder now
Since you've been gone I don't know how
To face another day alone
This empty house no longer home
Your coffee cup still by the sink
I close my eyes, afraid to think

I can't say goodbye the words won't come
My heart's still breaking I feel so numb
How do I let go when you're all I know?
These tears keep falling like winter snow
I can't say goodbye

I trace your photos on the walls
Replay your laughter through the halls
Your favorite song plays on repeat
I'm dancing slow, rough and beat
The world keeps moving, life goes on
But I'm still here, still holding on

I can't say goodbye the words won't come
My heart's still breaking I feel so numb
How do I let go when you're all I know?
These tears keep falling like winter snow
I can't say goodbye

I still feel you soft and warm
A gentle touch to calm the storm
You're in the sunrise in the breeze
In every moment across the seas
You never left you're here with me
You're in my heart eternally

I don't need to say goodbye
You're walking with me by my side
You're my compass, you're my guide
Through every single tear I've cried
In my heartbeat you survive
So I'll never say goodbye

Your hand in mine, I feel you near
Whispering softly, "I'm still here"
So I'll keep moving, I'll be brave
Carrying your love beyond the grave

I will never say goodbye...

Never Say Goodbye

Tried to be mysterious, wore all black for a week
But I laughed at my own jokes and I ruined the mystique
Watched some cheap horror films and practiced looking bored
Now I just quote the funny parts that everyone ignored

I read the self-help books, I took the online quiz
Turns out my personality is "exactly what it is"

I'm impossibly me, deal with it or don't
I tried to be somebody else, turns out that I won't
I'm impossibly me, this is what you get
I'm the most authentic mess that you have ever met
I'm me; just me

So impossibly me

Joined a meditation class to find my inner zen
Got kicked out for asking "Are we done yet?" at 10 AM
Tried to be spontaneous, said "yes" to everything
Turns out I hate surprises and most social gatherings

They say "fake it till you make it," well I gave it my best shot
But the person that I'm faking keeps forgetting half the plot

I'm impossibly me, deal with it or don't
I tried to be somebody else, turns out that I won't
I'm impossibly me, this is what you get
I'm the most authentic mess that you have ever met
I'm me; just me

So impossibly me

There's probably some lesson here
About loving the self or facing fear
But that sounds like a different song
And I've been "me" for way too long

I'm impossibly me, irrepairably myself
Take your hopes of fixing me and toss them on a shelf
I'm impossibly me, and that's the only truth
There's no point in acting polished, mysterious, or smooth
I'm me; just me

So impossibly me

I'm impossibly me, and here's what I believe—
I'd rather be myself and lonely than be loved for make-believe
Because I'm impossibly, unmistakably,
Regrettably, incredibly,
Impossibly me

Impossibly Me

I'm not exactly hero material, let's be clear. 
Half the time I'm wondering what I'm even doing here. 
To be honest, I'm fumbling and I'm flawed,
But you make me feel like maybe I'm not that much of a fraud. 

I could be your chef, though I might just burn the kitchen down.
I could be your therapist, but it's me who needs to talk it out.
I could be your bodyguard, though I'm not that masculine or tough.
But when you're standing near me, I feel dangerous enough.

It's hilarious, precarious, I'm walking on a wire.
You got me thinking maybe I could reach a little higher.
I could wrestle with a lion and come out without a scratch.
That's the type of bravery I always seem to catch.

(I could be...Oh)

I could be whatever, baby, you just say the word.
I could be the punchline to the joke you've never heard.
Around you I'm invincible, standing ten feet tall.
I could be the one, who makes sure that you never fall.

I could be your pilot, though I'm terrified of heights.
I could navigate your heart, if you would turn on all the lights.
I could be your superhero, cape and mask and all that jazz.
I could cure your boredom with my questionable pizzazz.

It's mysterious, delirious, this confidence is new.
I went from zero to a hero just from being next to you.
I could conquer Mount Everest in flip-flops and a tee.
That's the kind of stupid courage you bring out of me.

(I could be...Oh)

I could be whatever, baby, you just say the word
I could be the punchline to the joke you've never heard.
Around you I'm invincible, standing ten feet tall.
I could be the one, who makes sure that you never fall.

I could be your knight, but my armor's secondhand.
I could slay your dragons if they're willing to pretend.
I could be smooth-talking, James Bond in a tux.
Or realistically speaking, just some lovesick nervous schmuck.

(I could be...Oh)

I could be whatever, baby, you just say the word
I could be the punchline to the joke you've never heard.
Around you I'm invincible, standing ten feet tall.
I could be the one, who makes sure that you never fall.

I could be the one who's got your back until the end
Your overly ambitious, semi-competent best friend
I could be a lot of things, most of them absurd
But around you I feel "possible"—I think that's the word
...
I could be whatever, and I'd do it just for you.
So sing your wildest dreams, and I'll make your song come true.

I Could Be

We Are One

All the Little Things

I Am the Twilight

I see you sitting there alone, your eyes fixed on the floor.
The weight upon your shoulder shows, in ways I can't ignore.
I want to cross this distance, find some way to break through,
but what could I possibly say that would mean something to you?

There are not enough words in this world,
to heal a heart that's breaking.
Not enough lines, or perfect rhymes,
to keep your hands from shaking.
All the clever phrases I could say,
would just fly away like birds.
Cuz' sometimes pain runs deeper,
than all of our selfless words.

You tell me how it happened, the love that slipped away.
The promises that shattered, the night that turned to day.
And I listened to your story, every detail that you'd share.
Wishing I had something magical, to show you that I care.

There are not enough words in this world,
to heal a heart that's breaking.
Not enough lines, or perfect rhymes,
to keep your hands from shaking.
All the clever phrases I could say,
would just fly away like birds.
Cuz' sometimes pain runs deeper,
than all of our pretty words.

I've searched through every language, every poem ever penned.
Looking for the perfect phrase, to help your heart to mend.
But wisdom fails and comfort pales, when faced with grief so true.
So I'll set aside my search for words, and just be here with you.

There are not enough words in this world,
to heal a heart that's breaking.
Not enough lines, or perfect rhymes,
to keep your hands from shaking.
All the clever phrases I could say,
would just fly away like birds.
Cuz' sometimes pain runs deeper,
than all of these useless words.

Not Enough Words

Dark clouds gather overhead, I pull my jacket tight.
I've been running from the shadows, that follow me through my life.
The first drop hits my shoulder, I quicken up my pace,
Trying to outrun the sorrow, painted across my face.

Tears from the sky, washing down.
Nature's release, when words aren't found.
Thunder rolls like a broken heart,
Tearing the very heavens apart.

Tears from the sky, falling free.
The world is weeping, weeping for me.

Shelter seems so far... The downpour quickens now...
Something shifts inside me, as rain touches my brow.
I stopped running away, let the water touch my skin.
The storm outside matches the tempest deep within.

Tears from the sky, washing down.
Nature's release, when words aren't found.
Thunder rolls like a broken heart,
Tearing the very heavens apart.

Tears from the sky, falling free.
The world is weeping, weeping for me.

So I lift my hands up high, face turned toward the storm.
The rain mixes with my tears, and something new is born.
No more hiding, no more fear, let the downpour sing.
There's freedom in surrender, there's healing in release.

Tears from the sky, washing down.
Nature's release, when words aren't found.
Thunder rolls like a broken heart,
Tearing the very heavens apart.

Tears from the sky, falling free.
The world is weeping, weeping for me.
