Goodnight, Not Goodbye

Mitchell Hunter


does fate exist? 
or is it just a curse 
some people move on and some stay the same 
i start to wonder which is worse 

we follow different paths 
with different lengths and different curves 
i know there is a winning end 
but why did you have to get there first 

all i want is a reason 
'cause i feel you're still alive 
here with me, as i lie awake through the night 
i'll say goodnight, but not goodbye 
i'll say goodnight, but not goodbye 

death is a burden on the soul 
drowns you through the cold night 
feelings of a dark, dark tunnel 
with no light or end in sight 

days go by and then the sun shines through 
before hope, faith and courage die 
but the pain still numbs my skin, the wounds scar 
emptiness remains in my heart 

all i want is a reason 
'cause i feel you're still alive 
here with me, as i lie awake wondering why??? 
i'll say goodnight, but not goodbye 
i'll say goodnight, but not 

it can't be 
all the life, all the memories 
leave only dust and ashes here with me 
i watch you blow away 
as tears stream down my face 

all i want is a reason 
'cause i feel you're still alive 
here with me, as i lie awake wondering why??? 

all i want is a reason 
'cause i know you're still alive 
here with me, as i lie awake through the night 
i'll say goodnight, but not goodbye 
i'll say goodnight, but not goodbye
