The Yearning

The Moment Your Heart Would Say Goodbye

Though I can still remember

The look upon your face

That cold and dark December

There was something out of place

The smile it wasn't for me

The letter wasn't mine

And when you said, 'adore me'

I didn't see the signs

But after many sleepless nights

I came to realise

That was just the moment your heart would say goodbye

 

I think it was the evening

The sun was yet to set

The thought that you'd be leaving

I hadn't felt it yet

It was after we had eaten

You said you had to go

I thought nothing of it

I wasn't yet to know

But suddenly it dawned on me

After days that passed me by

That was just the moment your heart would say goodbye

 

And now I see it clearly

As the clouds part in the sky

That was just the moment your heart would say goodbye
