Cassandra Jakimova - Goodbye

GOODBYE [Verse 1] She wakes up with a storm inside, A thousand thoughts she cannot hide. Her heart is racing, hands are cold, Another morning she can't hold. She smiles so no one has to know, How deep the darkness seems to grow. She says, “I'm fine,” then shuts the door, And falls apart onto the floor. [Pre-Chorus] Every breath feels like a fight, Every day becomes another night. She's tired of saying, “I’m okay,” When all she wants is to fade away. [Chorus] So goodbye… To the woman who was always strong, To pretending that she could carry on. Goodbye… To the pain she couldn't explain, To waking up and feeling nothing but the same. She whispers, “Maybe no one cares, Maybe no one would even notice I'm not there.” But somewhere underneath the tears, A tiny voice says, “Stay here.” [Verse 2] Panic comes without a warning, Steals the night and breaks the morning. She fights her mind until she's numb, Wondering how much more can come. Depression pulls her underneath, Makes it hard to even breathe. She looks around at everyone, And thinks their lives would be better if she was gone. [Pre-Chorus] She's worn out from the endless war, She doesn't know what she's fighting for. She closes her eyes and starts to cry, “I don't want to die… I just don't want to hurt like this tonight.” [Chorus] So goodbye… To the woman who was always strong, To pretending that she could carry on. Goodbye… To the pain she couldn't explain, To every night she spent afraid. She whispers, “Maybe no one cares, Maybe the world is better without me there.” But somewhere underneath the tears, A tiny voice says, “Stay here.” [Bridge] If tomorrow finds her broken, Let somebody hear the words unspoken. If she cannot say, “I need you,” Let somebody stay until she gets through. She doesn't need another reason To be ashamed of what she's feeling. She doesn't need to win tonight, She only needs to stay alive. One more breath. One more hour. One more morning after the storm. [Final Chorus] Goodbye… To the lie that nobody cares, To the voice that tells her no one's there. Goodbye… To believing she's too much, To thinking she was never worth enough. She whispers, “I'm still hurting, But maybe I don't have to disappear.” And underneath the tears, That tiny voice becomes clear: “Stay here… Just stay here.” [Outro] She doesn't promise she'll be alright, She doesn't know how she'll survive the night. But for the first time in so long, She takes one breath… And carries on.
