Griffin, Patty - Goodbye Lyrics






Occured to me the other day
You've been gone now a couple years
well, I guess it takes while
For someone to really disappear
And I remember where I was
When the word came about you
It was a day much like today
the sky was bright, and wide, and blue

And I wonder where you are
And if the pain ends when you die
And I wonder if there was
Some better way to say goodbye

Today my heart is big and sore
it's tryin' to push right through my skin
I won't see you anymore
I guess that's finally sinkin' in
'Cause you can't make somebody see
By the simple words you say
All their beauty from within
Sometimes they just look away

But I wonder where you are
And if the pain ends when you die
And I wonder if there was
Some better way to say goodbye

    to kristen

    Thank you for this song.

  5. R.... B....

    My brother, Billy, took his own life when his pain and fear turned to anguish. A desperate grab for peace by a tormented man who saw the world as only an artist can. The shadows and details finally consumed him. I wonder, still. if there was a better way to say goodbye...

  6. J.... B....

    Pain is an open wound for which there seems to be no cure...
    I can hardly breathe without you at times...
    and I wonder if the pain really does end when you die? because when you're gone you can never come back.

  7. C.... H....

    Listening to this thinking about my friend I lost to cancer a year ago today. We miss you, Debra. ❤️

  8. B.... T....

    I think this is a break up song but it reminds me of my daughter Ali. She died in a car accident in 1999. “Today my heart is big and sore, it’s tryin’ to push right through my skin”

    B.... T....

    I think the song is about someone lost to suicide.

    B.... T....

    David Chen Your interpretation is as good as mine

    B.... T....

    It's not a break up song, it's about Jeff Buckley, he drowned.

  9. M.... G....

    To a sincere friend thru my early to young adult years. He demonstrated the courage to speak truth to power. He pleaded just for a chance.
    He is missed by many. Vaya con Dios RRR.

  10. g.... ....

    Every time i hear this song, it reminds me of my mum..A very spiritual, genuine, wonderful person who never complained about anything, did all she could for us and just got on with it. miss u mum - always in my heart forever..

  11. V.... S....

    I think of my momma when I hear this song. I really miss her

  12. K.... M....

    To my friend Gaytanna who left this earth 2 years ago. I miss her so much. I am lost with out her.. Today my heart is big and sore and my heart is broken. I loved her so much.

    K.... M....

    Each that we lose takes part of us;
    A crescent still abides,
    Which like the moon, some turbid night,
    Is summoned by the tides.
    Emily Dickinson

    K.... M....

    It is so sad

  13. A.... J....

    Thank you for this great song
