Bless What's Gone

[Verse 1]
I said your name like closing time,
then let the last note fall.
We were a season, not a crime;
I don’t blame you at all.

[Pre-Chorus]
Some hearts pass through like weather,
some never learn to start.
I’m saying both goodbyes together,
with both hands on my heart.

[Chorus]
Goodbye to the loves I knew,
to the almost, the nearly, the true.
Goodbye to the ones I’ll never hold,
to the stories time won’t unfold.
I can miss you and still move on;
I can bless what’s gone, then let it be gone.

[Verse 2]
There’s someone I won’t meet at all,
a face without a name.
No fault, no promise left to call—
still, I mourn the flame.

[Bridge]
We were real while we were here;
that is enough to keep.
I’ll carry what was kind and clear,
and lay the rest to sleep.

[Chorus]
Goodbye to the loves I knew,
to the almost, the nearly, the true.
Goodbye to the ones I’ll never hold,
to the stories time won’t unfold.
I can miss you and still move on;
I can bless what’s gone, then let it be gone.
