Patty Griffin - Goodbye lyrics

Occurred to me the other day You've been gone now a couple years Well, I guess it takes a 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 trying to push right through my skin Won't see you any more I guess that's finally sinking in ‘Cause you can't make somebody see With the simple words you say All their beauty from within Sometimes they just look away 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 Some better way to say goodbye
