I walked her home, for the last time歌词

The first thing is
to allow yourself to say goodbye
and too often we get afraid of endings
and so we don't allow ourselves a goodbye

Goodbyes are temporary
because no one ever really leaves
and nothing lasts forever
and if you can remember those two things
that people are always with us
because in our hearts and in our memory
and the only thing we can depend on is change
I bet it hurts to read permanence
I used to think on all of this and how you don't
Damn it's hard to find sustenance
when all I have was love for this and now you don't

now I just abuse substances
to drown out your accomplishments, however few
