Ships In The Night

I'm finding "farewell" is the word I won't say
 At the risk of being what it is
 I'm finding "so long" is what took so long
 To finally utter strength
 And I can't be what I need
 And I can't treat you right
 Oh, nothing lasts forever
 This, my friend, won't pass in the night
 This, my friend, is still goodbye
 You're so far away; I don't know what that means
 It's finally dawned upon me
 That I couldn't hold on to its moving on
 We've passed like ships in the night
 And I can't be what I need
 And I can't treat you right
 Oh, nothing lasts forever
 This, my friend, won't pass in the night
 This, my friend, is still goodbye
 And I will haunt you
 And I will never feel you gone
 And I can't be what I need
 And I can't treat you right
 Oh, nothing lasts forever
 This, my friend, won't pass in the night
 This, my friend, is still a goodbye
 And I can't be what I need
 And I can't treat you right
 Oh, nothing lasts forever
 This, my friend, won't pass in the night
 This, my friend, is still a goodbye
 Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
 Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
 Goodbye...
