Never Said Goodbye (Stripped)

I never said goodbye

Nothin' could prepare me for that call

Dropped to my knees, threw my phone against the wall

Said you were gone and I didn't believe it

This isn't real, I just gotta be dreamin'

It's never fair, you were taken way too soon

Feels like a knife in the heart, an open wound

Won't ever heal 'cause I'm tryna make sense

Of a world where you're not in existence

I know, yeah, I know, we never know our time

But I don't understand what's on the the other side

I know, yeah, I know, it's just a part of life

But I'm still askin' why

Why'd I never say what I meant to?

All those things I wanted to tell you

I know you're home now, in a better place

But I'm still searching for the words to say

I wish I would've known it was the last time

'Cause I never said goodbye

Hard to think that you're never coming home

And now you rest in a field beneath your stone

I find peace in the silence around me

And in the calm I can feel you surrounding

I don't think that I'll ever understand

One day we're here, then we fall like grains of sand

Do we wade in the pain that we live in?

Or make the most of the time we're given?

Why'd I never say what I meant to?

All those things I wanted to tell you

I know you're home now, in a better place

But I'm still searching for the words to say

I wish I would've known it was the last time

'Cause I never said goodbye

I know, yeah, I know, we never know our time

But I don't understand what's on the the other side

Yeah, I know, yeah, I know, it's just a part of life

I'll never know why

Why'd I never say what I meant to? (Meant to)

All those things I wanted to tell you (Those things I wanted to tell you, oh)

I know you're home now in a better place

But I'm still searching for the words to say

I wish I would've known it was the last time

'Cause I never said goodbye

I never said, never said, never said goodbye

I never said, never said, never said goodbye ('Cause I never said goodbye)

I never said, never said, never said goodbye

I never said, never said, never said goodbye ('Cause I never said)
