Hello there, it's been a while
How are you, how's your smile
Me, well, I've been good
Finally heading down that road we always knew I should
Got myself out of that deep and darker place
Life is more than just another obstacle to face
Getting through these aches and pains is how I know I've grown
Over this past year I've seen so much more than I'd ever know
So if you wonder about me, I am doing just fine
Now that you're gone, my life is truly mine
This wouldn't exist without melancholy
Thanks to your gift
Your leaving set my heart free now
Now
Don't worry, I'll be around
A familiar face, or maybe just one in the crowd
Don't forget to carry on, don't forget your smile
If'n we meet again, it won't be for a while
Life can get dark and hard, of this I know
But getting over it is how we know we've grown
Whether or not our paths cross again
I will still wish you well, my friend
So if you wonder about me, I am doing just fine
Now that you're gone, my life is truly mine
This wouldn't exist without melancholy
Thanks to your gift
Your leaving set my heart free now
Now
