A Little More

I say goodbye to you every day
Each day i mean it a little more
Don't you know you were everything to me?
I know, i know
Each day i realize a little more
I was never everything to you
Just another in the long line
The walking wounded all over the Queen City
Wondering and remembering
Trying to figure out where they went wrong
What was i thinking when we said hello?
Did i know with my hands on your belly
Did i know this would be my fate?
It's too late now
To wonder if i should have fought
I know it would have been for naught
But men are taught to fight fight fight
Now i need to let you go
More than put your things in boxes
More than talk the talk with my friends
To close your door in my heart
To tell you no when you ask me back in my dreams
To say yes when someone in the waking hours asks me to take a chance
The last goodbye takes a long time
Walk this road with me one more time
Let me let go of your hand
Let me drop this flower
Let me remember you with a smile, and not these tears
