This is How We Say Goodbye

It’s not what you told me
It’s what’s I wanted to hear
My voice echoes off into the night
And in this night there is no response
Only the patter of the rain
Only the whispering of memories
Repeating back to me, repeating back to me
Because I just wanted for the sake of wanting
And I’ll drown myself in the river if I have to
Just because the water is so warm
and I can’t imagine a better day to go down stream
To float away while you still know the sound of my voice
It’s as fresh and as real as the smile on your face
So I sit by the shore and i count the sunsets
Each time the sun fades so don’t you
