Farewell (song lyrics)

For so many years
I couldn’t bring myself to smile
I never found a reason
Determination felt much easier

It was never a dream come true
Even so, I sang my heart away
I told the world of my scars
While keeping my heart tightly closed

So here I am
Telling you of my story
Sharing the chapters of my life
Shedding these tears
Hoping that you can understand
My reasons were never fair
For that I am deeply sorry
But my real dream lays just ahead
And a new life will begin
Giving hope to a hopeless heart

Every word was sung in truth
Real pain was reflected in every tear
Every smile to the world
Was a thank you not happiness

For so many years I never understood
I’ve made it to this day living on hope
Waiting for something more
Hoping there would be more
To smile in real happiness was my dream
To come true

So here I am
Telling you of my story
Sharing the chapters of my life
Shedding these tears
Hoping that you can understand
My reasons were never fair
For that I am deeply sorry
But my real dream lays just ahead
And a new life will begin
Giving hope to a hopeless heart
