Now every greeting
Feels like a planned out
Goodbye
Every five minutes
I wait in denial
Hoping you might let me
Hold on to this smile
But, silence comes quickly
Much like the rain
Our hurt was too heavy
Clouds can't hold pain
Run, fleet footed alpha
Dash far from here
There's no fog in this forest
Your smoke signals are clear
But, light travels faster
Than sound and than you
So, i'll keep hoping blindly
What i hear isn't true
That your grin isn't vacant
And your touch doesn't lie
That each one of your greetings
Is not a planned out goodbye
Now every greeting
Feels like a planned out
Goodbye
Every five minutes
I wait in denial
Hoping you might let me
Hold on to this smile
But every last effort
Is grasping at sand
Clinging to whispers
That slip through my hands
Still, they're outstretched
Til the skin becomes taut
Awaiting the notion
That i'm in your thoughts
But, thinking in practice
Is action on mute
And silence is crushing
When it speaks the truth
So, pass through the ether
Vanish from here
You're a ghost locked in transit
You should just disappear
Now every greeting
Feels like a planned out
Goodbye
Every five minutes
I wait in denial
Hoping you might let me
Hold on to this smile
I needed you then
You took me for granted
You won't find me waiting
I'm too disenchanted
Hold on to this smile
Swallow my lie
This time it's me
Who planned out their goodbye
