Before You Go (For Good) – Alex Day

I remember days when we were useless
And all the time we spent on who was right
I recall the days when I confused us
A few debates that turn into a fight
But most of all I know we had our moments
And I loved you with everything I had
And now those complicated days feel stolen
Where there’s no way to ever get ’em back

Before you go for good, can we pretend for one more night
That we will never have to say goodbye
Though I know that I will meet someone who takes me somewhere new
There will never be someone like you
And it’s hard to leave my bed when I know today our days are done
Even if I guess I knew it all along
But I would go through everything you ever put me through
If I could go through everything with you

And even when we only had an evening
We’d always find a way to make it count
And if you saw me now, you’d see I’m grieving
The days I don’t know how to live without
I cried because I wished you’d change your answer
You cried because you know you never will
Together we prepare for what comes after
And try to push aside the way we feel

But before you go for good, can we pretend for one more night
That we will never have to say goodbye
Though I know that I will meet someone who takes me somewhere new
There will never be someone like you
And it’s hard to leave my bed when I know today our days are done
Even if I guess I knew it all along
But I would go through everything you ever put me through
If I could go through everything with you

I will never have those days again
I will never have those days again
Will never have those days
The days, the days, the days, the days

I am refusing to forget you, so let’s pretend for one more night
That we will never have to say goodbye
Though I know that I will meet someone who takes me somewhere new
There will never be someone like you
And it’s hard to leave my bed when I know today our days are done
Even if I guess I knew it all along
But I would go through everything you ever put me through
If I could go through everything with you

How can it be, you promised me our time would never end
How can it be I’m losing my best friend
If we could do this over, I know I’d never make you stay
But I would never waste a single day
With you, I’d never waste a single day
