From my hands

So much I thought I'd have to say
Though I try to speak, my meaning strays
We can't avoid the facts that brought us here
I have come to say goodbye
The lies I try to tell with my own eyes;
An act of pride, a willful compromise
Please understand how torn I am
When I walk away from here
I lament the moments we won't share
If I am far too sentimental, I apologize
Please understand this is who I am
And who I'll still be when I've walked away from here
You know I'm not unkind
When I say in the future
The past is just the past
No going back
No change of heart
But this is now
Time will not differ
My thoughts betray, so easily confess
How long I'll wait here after you have gone
Nothing ends but I don't believe that now
Please don't walk away from here
I went alone and I remember days
Nothing will change a single fact of who you were to me
Oh, come what may, forever to the end
I find it so hard to let you go
And hush now, let it go now
There's no need for sad goodbyes
Hush now, let it go now
I know it's time to go
Time to let this fall from my hands
