Farewell Notes

[Intro] (Piano intro - slow, sparse, melancholic chords) [Verse 1] The ivory keys feel cold tonight Reflecting this pale, fading light Each note I play, a heavy sigh As shadows stretch across the sky The world outside keeps turning 'round But here, no solace can be found This constant ache, this hollow core I simply can't endure much more [Chorus] So this is goodbye, whispered low A final place I need to go Where silence finally takes its hold And all this weary story's told No more the f***t, no more the pain Just letting go, like gentle rain I close my eyes, release the strife This heavy weight, this fragile life [Verse 2] Remembered laughter, distant sound Like footprints lost on frozen ground The promises I couldn't keep Lie buried far, buried deep A photograph, a faded smile Just adds another weary mile To walk alone, without a friend Is this the destined, bitter end? [Chorus] So this is goodbye, whispered low A final place I need to go Where silence finally takes its hold And all this weary story's told No more the f***t, no more the pain Just letting go, like gentle rain I close my eyes, release the strife This heavy weight, this fragile life [Bridge] The music swells, a last embrace Before I leave this empty space No anger left, just quiet grace And tears that trace a final face Forgive the words I couldn't say The light I let just fade away The weight upon my soul's too deep It's time for everlasting sleep [Chorus] So this is goodbye, whispered low A final place I need to go Where silence finally takes its hold And all this weary story's told No more the f***t, no more the pain Just letting go, like gentle rain I close my eyes, release the strife This heavy weight, this fragile life [Outro] (Piano melody repeats chorus theme, becoming softer and more fragmented, fading slowly into silence. Final single, soft chord hangs and decays completely.)
