about

This song seemed to be the easiest to write out of the batch of songs on this EP. Every song means something to me, but this one was special. This song most accurately explains the emotions i was going through during a tragic break up with a girl i loved.
In this song, the lyrics are everything i wanted to say to what is now my ex-girlfriend. We had broken up over the phone, and i never actually got the chance to tell her goodbye. So about 9 months after the break up, I sat down and told myself it's time to accept what has happened between the two of us. But there was one thing i wanted to do before i completely started moving on. And that was to finally try to communicate to the girl through a song and to mainly get the point across to her that I still love her regardless of the mess i was in. And that's when i wrote the song. This song means the most to me. -William

lyrics

I'm ready for new chapters to unfold
But i can't grasp that they come one at a time
And what i don't understand
only makes me that much more
dependent on my faith

I ball up in my room as i watch my world collapsing tonight
I screamed loud in prayer but all i could feel was her and she's not even there

I never would have known
that when we kissed goodbye
in front of your house late that night
it'd be for the last time
So this is my last goodbye
And i'll say this for the last time and I hope this feels right
But i love you
I love you goodnight

Biting off my nails as i sat there in my room
Shaking to death because i was so scared to lose you
And the only voice I heard was the one telling me it's time to go our separate ways.
But I never lost my faith.

I balled up in my room as I watched my world collapsing that night
I screamed loud in prayer but all i could feel was you and you weren't even there.

I never would have known
that when we kissed goodbye
in front of your house late that night
it'd be for the last time
So this is my last goodbye
And i'll say this for the last time and I hope this feels right
But i love you
and love you
i love you, goodnight
