LONG BEFORE GOODBYE
Writers: Denny Martin SESAC, Chris Lackey ASCAP

I’m looking in my memory for a clue
Searching for the moment I lost you
It wasn’t when you walked away that night
No, you were gone long before goodbye

I laid your picture right next to my heart
Thought you were so happy in my arms
God knows why I never saw the signs
'Cause you were gone long before goodbye

I think of what I might have said
Lay awake filled with regret
All the tears I cry don’t help
So hard not to blame myself
Wondering was there something else
I could've tried, oh, I should've tried
But you were gone long before goodbye

I sit here talking to this empty room
Where I used to lay so close to you
I'm lost in the dark 'cause I can't find
What changed your mind long before goodbye

Think of what I might have said
Lay awake filled with regret
All the tears I cry don’t help
So hard not to blame myself
Wondering was there something else
I could've tried, oh, I should've tried
But you were gone long before goodbye

Yeah, you were gone long before goodbye
Oh, so long, long, so long, yes you were
Oh, you were gone long before goodbye
