The summer sun sets behind the high school
The soft ring of laughter fading so soon
All my friends have up and gone
Left me with memories, now I sing alone
We ran through the fields and dreamed so high
Never thought those days would go
Now I'm standing here, lost in the blue
With a heart that's heavy, I am starting anew
Oh, the goodbyes sting like a rusted chain
Every empty street calling out their names
But I'll find my path, though the road is rough
Starting a life anew, I am enough
The old café's got new faces in town
Strangers in places where friends hung around
I toast to their dreams and mine that flew
Gathering the strength, starting anew
A suitcase packed with hopes and fears
Leaving behind all those golden years
Though my heart breaks, I'll push on through
Building a life here, starting anew
Oh, the goodbyes sting like a rusted chain
Every empty street calling out their names
But I'll find my path, though the road is rough
Starting a life anew, I am enough
Oh
Oh I am enough
Oh look at my path, though the road is rough
Starting a life anew, I am enough
These memories I left behind
With my thoughts and my dreams
Star and empty fields
And I. I remember
The goodbyes they sting like an old rusted chain
Every empty street calling their names
