Old Goodbyes

Ein Song durch die Jahre an die Freunde, die durch das Schweigen nie unwichtig wurden.

Folk-soul · intimateSongtext von Thomas LukaschewskiOriginalsprache: Englisch

Verse 1

I moved through towns with boxes in my hands,
With old goodbyes I never really planned.
I told myself that everyone moves on,
Then wondered where the easy years had gone.

I kept your names in corners of my mind,
Not lost, just harder every year to find.
I disappeared in ways I can’t defend,
But never because you mattered less, my friend.

Pre-Chorus

I know I should have called by now,
Should have found the words somehow.
But silence isn’t proof that I
Stopped carrying you through my life.

Chorus

I still carry you with me,
Though I let the years go by.
Every road that took me farther
Left your name somewhere inside.

And I know I should have called you,
Should have found a better way,
But you mattered more than silence
Could ever hope to say.

Verse 2

There are nights I hear an old song play,
And I’m back inside some yesterday.
A kitchen light, a borrowed coat,
The kind of laugh you share with those

Who knew you before you learned to hide,
Before the world got loud and split the ride.
I wish I’d known what distance does to time,
How slowly “later” turns into goodbye.

Pre-Chorus 2

I can’t undo the years we missed,
Or every birthday off my list.
But if this song should find you now,
I hope you know I cared somehow.

Chorus

I still carry you with me,
Though I let the years go by.
Every road that took me farther
Left your name somewhere inside.

And I know I should have called you,
Should have found a better way,
But you mattered more than silence
Could ever hope to say.

Bridge

I don’t expect the years to bend,
Or every broken bridge to mend.
I only wish I’d seen it clear:
You lose the closest year by year.

You lose them slowly, call by call,
A little less, then not at all.
And by the time you understand,
You’re holding ghosts with empty hands.

Final Chorus

I still carry you with me,
Though I let the years go by.
Every road that took me farther
Left your name somewhere inside.

And I know I should have called you,
Should have found a better way,
So I’m sending out this song now
For the words I couldn’t say.
