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
