"Goodbye to you..."

i just love this song....partly cos it was featured in a very touching scene in "Buffy" (one of my fav shows. haha! go on and laugh, but i tell you its super intelligent script-writing.), partly cos I'm just wistful by nature,n partly cos it speaks to me at this point in my life...and its not saying gdbye to a real-life person per se, but could be just STUFF (gosh, i'm like SO eloquent. haha) in my life.

And before you think i'm manic-depressive from the dark tone of my writings n reflections...let me tell you i'm not. Perhaps its just a quarter-life crisis! Learning to let go, learning to walk on without my security blankets, emotional crutches.

"Goodbye To You" (Michelle Branch)
-------------------------------------------

Of all the things I've believed in
I just want to get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by

I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
It feels like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend
And I said,

[Chorus:]
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything that I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing that I tried to hold on to

I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems that I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light
But it's not right

[Chorus]

And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want what's yours and I want what's mine
I want you
But I'm not giving in this time

[Chorus x2]

And when the stars fall
I will lie awake
You're my shooting star
