Goodbye,
Everytime I say it I ask myself why,
Why do I let myself hurt again,
Why can't things be simple like they were back then,
I wasn't able to say the first goodbye,
I was to young when you passed my by,
I didn't know your death would affect me so much,
How I wish I could feel your touch
~~My father~~
I was older and more prepared,
I wanted to see you but I didn't dare,
You left a big hole in my mothers heart,
Why did lord have to make you part?
~~My nanny~~
You brought happiness to me again,
Such a young soul, You meant so much then,
I had to become an adult far too soon,
I loved to be there to watch you bloom,
~~Hello, my brother~~
I left my home but wanted to go,
I thought I would be happy, I should have known,
I would miss all the friends I had,
I shouldn't have left, I must be mad
~~goodbye England~~
I made a mistake I might regret,
But I like it here, no doubts yet,
I just wish it could be simpler,
If you were here to suport her.
~~Again~~
