How To Begin To Say Goodbye

Where are you when the lights are off and the day is dark enough
To show no shadow?
Where are you when she calls for you and your voice is stuck in time
On old machines?
Oh, how to begin to say goodbye to you
When I don't want to say it?
Oh, how to begin to say goodbye to you
When there's too much to say?

I saw a side of you that hurt a side in me, a quarter turn
But they didn't see it
I tried to talk about the way we made mistakes, I couldn't speak
And you didn't hear me
But now you're gone, there's nothing to be done
Only time will bring me something that is real
Oh, how to begin to say goodbye to you
When I don't get to say it?
Oh, how to begin to say goodbye to you
When you won't hear it now?
