Wish I didn't have to say Goodbye...

I wrote this little song today at work... Don't ask me how or why it came to me. It just did. And I NEVER claim to be a "HIT" writer... This song may seem wierd to have written, but I thought of the first couple lines randomly... like I do at times, and then the rest just came as I thought about my Grandma and other people who have passed on and how (in simple terms) it feels to lose someone you love. Now, if you made it through that LONG run on sentence... here it is:

I wish I didn't have to say goodbye.
I wish I could hold back these tears I cry.
I wish I could change the way things are
But you've slipped away...

I can't live life on the what ifs
How would things be - if they were different
It hurts to move on and it hurts to remain
If you were still here,
Would I be feeling this pain?

I wish I didn't have to say goodbye.
I wish I could hold back these tears I cry.
I wish I could change the way things are
But you've all slipped away...

Everything I'd looked towards with such hope
I cannot cope
for they to are gone.
You're not here and I fear
I will never move on.

I wish I didn't have to say goodbye.
I wish I could hold back these tears I cry.
I wish I could change the way things are
But you've slipped away...

I'm broken hearted at the memories
and torn apart for the ones that will never be
I can barely grasp that you are gone.
Why have you left me?

I wish I didn't have to say goodbye.
I wish I could hold back these tears I cry.
I wish I could change the way things are
But its all slipped away...
And I can't get it back.
