by Mel Maryns - Every Breath
This is a song about leaving behind familiar surroundings and friends to start a new life elsewhere. The speaker is sad about leaving and is counting every breath as they face the reality of saying goodbye. They are aware that things will never be the same again and that they will miss their friends. Despite this, they know they have to move on and face their new life with hope. The song ends with the speaker counting their breaths and not knowing when they will be back or how long their new life will last.
[Verse 1]
It’s time to pack up everything
Maybe I’ll see you in the spring
I’ve gotta say goodbye tonight
So let’s not waste any time [Pre Chorus]
All the memories
All the little things
I promise I will hold on to
My tears are falling down oh no
I don’t wanna say goodbye
I’m sorry I won’t be around oh no
I’m moving to a whole new life
I feel a stranger in this place
I know things won’t be the same
The days go by I only cry
I think about my friends all night [Pre Chorus]
Every step ahead
I go back to the past
Keeping all alive in my head
My tears are falling down oh no
I don’t wanna say goodbye
I’m sorry I won’t be around oh no
I’m moving to a whole new life
I saw the sun went down on me
The leaves fell right over me
And the days were dark
And I’m still apart
All the flowers are back
And I’m still here here here [Chorus]
My tears are falling down oh no
I don’t wanna say goodbye
I’m sorry I won’t be around oh no
I’m moving to a whole new life
It’s time to pack up everything
Maybe I’ll see you in the spring
I’ve gotta say goodbye tonight
So let’s not waste any time [Pre Chorus]
All the memories
All the little things
I promise I will hold on to
Even though I know
It’s time to go
I wish it wasn’t true no oh
My tears are falling down oh no
I don’t wanna say goodbye
I’m sorry I won’t be around oh no
I’m moving to a whole new life
I’m counting every breath
I don’t know when I’ll be back
But I’m counting every breath
I don’t know how long it will last
I feel a stranger in this place
I know things won’t be the same
The days go by I only cry
I think about my friends all night [Pre Chorus]
Every step ahead
I go back to the past
Keeping all alive in my head
Even though I’m gone
I gotta move on
So life can carry on no uh oh
My tears are falling down oh no
I don’t wanna say goodbye
I’m sorry I won’t be around oh no
I’m moving to a whole new life
I’m counting every breath
I don’t know when I’ll be back
But I’m counting every breath
I don’t know how long it will last
I saw the sun went down on me
The leaves fell right over me
And the days were dark
And I’m still apart
All the flowers are back
And I’m still here here here [Chorus]
My tears are falling down oh no
I don’t wanna say goodbye
I’m sorry I won’t be around oh no
I’m moving to a whole new life
I’m counting every breath
I don’t know when I’ll be back
But I’m counting every breath
I don’t know how long it will last
no oh oh
I don’t know when I’ll be back
no oh oh
I don’t know how long it will last
