Last Goodbye
[Repeat: x6]
I don't wanna be alone
Uh, tears hit her cheeks, like Tyson's glove
Pain hit his heart, as she fights for love
She says don't go, but the call came,
It's time to deploy, and they called his name
Close to zero five-hundred, her mind starts wanderin'
Butterflies, tummy starts rumblin'
Queasy, uneasy, tryin' to hold it all together
She doesn't want their last moments here to be
Unpleasant
The car ride is quiet, outside it's hard to fight it
Inside it's like she's dyin', that's when she started cryin'
He tries to comfort her, "Baby, it's alright, liar"
That's what she screams louder from the thoughts of fight
They pray, it's okay, "I'll promise that I'll be safe" uh
That's what he tells her as he looks her in the face
And as he walks away, lookin' in her eye
Last kiss as they say
[Chorus]
I pray this is not our last goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Uh, graduation, her nine weeks are done
Hoorah, hooplah, now it's time to move on
Leavin' out of basic, she just got her assignment
She's headed off to war and it's hard for her to face it
Or face her, the daughter that she's leavin'
It's hard to come to terms with the truth, no one
Believes it and even when it's starrin' in ya face, you don't
Receive it
She hears mommy and it's just like her heart
Stopped beatin' (beatin', beatin') inhales heavy breathin'
Worried when she leaves she may not be back to
See them, her baby girl, and the family that she loves
Tryin' to hold back the tears right now is tough
She fights to stay strong, gotta hold on
She says a prayer, just tryin' to find a calm
Thoughts of eternity, then back to reality
And then she tells her family
[Chorus]
I don't want to be alone, I don't want
I don't wanna
Be alone
[Repeat: x8]
No
I can't live without you
