The Last Goodbye

Verse 1

I walked through the fire with a smile on my face,

Nobody saw the scars, nobody knew my pain.

I was fighting my battles alone in the night,

Looking for a reason, looking for a light.

They never called when I was losing my way,

They only remember when they see my name.

Funny how the silence turns into a crowd,

When you're gone forever and they talk so loud.

CHORUS

Nobody cares until you die,

Then they say your name and ask them why.

Where were you when I needed a hand?

Where were you when I couldn't stand?

Nobody cares until you fall,

Then suddenly they remember it all.

I was alive, I was here, I was real,

But nobody cared how I feel.

Verse 2

I gave my heart, I gave my time,

But they only noticed when I crossed the line.

I was invisible, lost in the rain,

Carrying a world full of silent pain.

Don't wait until the final goodbye,

To open your heart, to look in someone's eyes.

We are more than stories left behind,

We need love while we're still alive.

BRIDGE

If you hear my voice tonight,

Don't let me disappear in the fight.

Say you care before it's too late,

Don't leave flowers at a closing gate.

(FINAL CHORUS)

Nobody cares until you die,

But I'm still breathing, I'm still alive.

I don't need tears when I'm gone,

I need someone to stand beside me now.

Nobody cares until you die...

So care before the last goodbye.
