Goodbye Sunday

I've been writing this song for almost 5 years, but never had it quite right. It's quite an odd arrangment that goes verse, pre-chorus, verse, pre-chorus, bridge, chorus, alternate chorus. Here's the newest draft:

Goodbye Sunday

First love open your eyes to see the light ahead

I'm swimming in the words you said

My regrets and your goodbye our light is gone

Now I finally see how

You held on

I held off

Now you're gone

At times I'd like to wait this out

And paint a smile when you're around

A slight of face to hold your hand

Am I a better man than that?

I put it on

And took it off

Now you're gone

My regrets are deeper than the ocean

And your love was stronger than the tide

Never mind the memories are fading

You're the one who made me feel alive

Mistakes that we made we'll never be the same

Our love is a bent melody

My heart on my sleeve and my pride on the floor

You saved me, you saved me

First love close your eyes never to see the light

Our love is a bent melody

In my mind in my heart out of sight is a start

Goodbye Sunday
