Goodbye...

by budding writer

Published May 3, 2014

E - Everyone

In silence somewhere

I lay bound

Who knows where

In some unforgotten time

They went ahead of me

With great long strides

But still you remained

Right here beside me

But then you refused to stop

You didn't hear my humble words

I fear that dreaded time came back

How could you just say goodbye.....say goodbye

The times of loneliness

Im facing now again

Did you know ?

Cause up till yesterday

You were my life

I just don't understand

Saying those vows we took

Those cold nights we spent

Did they say good bye too ?

Torment........ torment they scream at me

The every step that you take

Every time you look back

My heart screams out to me

The tearing good bye

They seem to say

Good bye....good bye

Now what else is there to say

When you just turned and said

Good bye...good bye

Its not enough

You have to say it

Your very eyes seem to swim

With those words of good bye

It comes as no surprise

My eyes wander after you

When you have already left

Just a chance to hold that gaze again

Did you know?

They search for you everywhere

Night and day....

Nome nights like these

Without any excuse

I lie awake

Tryin to remember those days

And then i wonder why

You had to do what you did

Was i nothing to you

Just a sad good bye

Good bye...why good bye?

I feel like asking her

I just feel numb all over

Everything's in a daze

Did i think right?

What did she say?

I hear only good bye

Good bye...good bye

Now what else is there to say

When you just turned and said

Good bye......

Even though that time has now passed

Why does my heart still see you everywhere

Every turn, every corner

Every familiar sight

Finds you beckoning

If only you stayed a little bit longer

The sad good bye that it was

Remains a secret no more

My heart keeps worrying

Every second of the hour

Why did you have to say

Good bye

Good bye......good bye

I feel like asking why

What did she think about

And have to say

Good bye.......

Good bye...good bye

Now what else is there to say

When you just turned and said

Good bye......

-THE END-

Hello budding writer, I'll give a short review.

I can't actually critique this one. This is extremely superlative work of yours! You should write more lyrics (I found only one in your portfolio)

First and foremost, I would like to tell you that the flow of this lyrics was not good - IT WAS TERRIFIC/OUTSTANDING. Lyrics are hard to review, but easiest to read and hardest to write! Kudos for writing such a smooth 'song'. Yup. Song is only word I can use. (Those lyrics could actually be made into a song!)

Some of your previous reviewers said about punctuations but I won't go into grammar. (It's a serious problem for me so I wouldn't talk about it)

Sorry for such a short review, it was too good! Keep up the awesome work!

Thanks alot for the review! I'm already thinking about the tune to this one.. your more than welcome if you wanna help!

Not a lot to criticize.

I will say that the spaces before the question marks aren't necessary. Also, you missed some important punctuation such as the apostrophe before "till" in line 16.
Also, since you are writing words after periods such as the line "Good bye...good bye", the first letter should be capitalized. Ex. "Goodbye...Goodbye". Oh, and you don't have to put a space in between "Good" and "Bye".

Don't mean to be harsh; Trying to win the Review Day contest!

Thanks anyway for the review!

Hello, buddingwriter, Griff here for a short review!
First off, I really enjoyed this. The lyrics were very inspirational and thought out. Do you have music to go along with it? If so, what kind of music do you mean it to be? Rock, slow, pop, etc.? I would like to know.
One thing I would like to say is that I would like more clarification on stanzas and the main chorus. Even though I could tell after a while, I would just like some space or something to separate it out a bit. Also, when using ellipses, "..." is perfectly fine when you mean for it to trail off. Too many periods start looking a bit sloppy, in my opinion and in grammatical terms, but it is up to you if this is meant to be heard, not read. :)
Overall, great song. I really would like to hear it if you ever recorded it.

Great job and keep writing!

Well it would definitely be slow, maybe slow rock. I'm really hoping to put the music in cause right now its not complete. Its kinda like a project I'm working on. Thanks for the review!

Hi :)
Wow that's really good!
There's just a part where it says:
"Night and day....
Nome nights like these"
I'm going to take a guess and say that instead of 'nome' it was meant to be 'some'. Unless of course you were referring to one of the provinces of ancient Egypt, which I highly doubt. Anyway, really well written.
Good job. Keep writing.
