Your Last Goodbye

Your Last Goodbye
I saw your name light up my phone
Couldn't remember the last time you called
Figured I'd call you back someday
Like I've said before, just not today
Got caught up in a different life
Someone else's arms and different nights
Never thought time could slip away so fast
Didn't know that call would be your last
Now your voice lives forever in my phone
A ghost in my pocket, never leaving me alone
I missed your last goodbye
Let it ring while you were slipping away
Now I play it on repeat and cry
Hearing you fade, hearing you sigh
You said "I don.t have long left now"
God, I wish I'd have listened then, somehow
But silence was my only reply
To your last goodbye
Hears the news from a friend the next day
Said you didn't make it through the pain
Said you asked about me near the end
Called my name like we were back then
I sat there starin' at that screen
At that little red dot I hadn't seen
Hands were shackin' when I pressed replay
I heard every word I didn't say
Every word you said cut me deep
With a life time of regret I'll keep
I missed your last goodbye
Let it ring while you were slipping away
Now I plat it on repeat and cry
Hearing you breaking as you try
You said "Call me back if you get this soon..."
Wish I'd have listened that afternoon
I wasn't there by your side
For your last goodbye
Now I talk to a voice that can't respond
To a love that's already gone
The cruelest part I can't deny
You still sound alive
I missed your last goodbye
Let it ring, let you fade away
Now your voice is where I hide
From the guilt lying deep inside
You said "I love you" soft and slow
Words I never got to know
Till it was too late to try
After your last goodbye
Every night I press replay
Just to hear you slip away

we never think that will be the last, then it is.

Thanks for the listen Bill
Starting to wonder if something is wrong with me for being drawn to songs like this.

Not really. to me it helps. that's why I write what I write. You can never go wrong with songs about the mind or heart :)

That's one to tug at the heartstrings! Regret, guilt and sadness. And a life lesson for the listener.
I think you've done well here. Message is very clear, and it's really easy to put yourself into the position of the singer.

Thanks Owen, for the listen and reply.
I had an old flame that passed about two years back from cancer.
I didn't know she had cancer if I had of I would of tried to call her.
Maybe I shouldn't regret not talking to her before her death but I do.

We're all human, and we all have regrets. You didn't do it knowingly, and you already know that! Some things we just have to live with. The trick is to learn from them and remember for a different occasion.

Great hook and angle Tex

Thanks Elvis,
This came from Kay-lynn's challenge to write a one verse and one chorus about a missed voice mail that you regret not getting in time. After starting it I had to finish it. The next one won't be as sad.

To be honest, it could easily be on my playlist, and I could listen it from time to time
Good one
