Before I Go

Days turn into hours
Til I leave for the first time
I won’t lie and say I’m ready
There’s so much on my mind
You know I have to answer
I raised my hand to keep you safe
21’s too young to feel this way

I wish you understood
I wish that I could show
All the ways I love you before I go

I just wanna say I’m sorry
Give forgiveness that’s overdue
You should know I’ll always be there
Take this heart as an IOU
Don’t know how and don’t know when
But I hope I see you again
If I don’t I wanted you to know
Before I go

Hours turned into years
Really thought I could make it work
We’re a little older and maybe wiser
But hurting you still hurts
We’ve made mistakes and I can say
Gave it my everything
Guess some things just aren’t meant to be

I wish you understood
I wish that I could show
All the ways I love you before I go

Years turn into to minutes
Till I leave for the last time
Looking back on the beginning
Oh I’ve lived a thousand lives
Wipe the tears from your eyes
I’m not afraid to take this step
With one last look
And my last breath
