How Do You

How do you say goodbye when you’ve opened your heart to say hello?
How do you turn and walk away when your heart says “no”?
How do you run from your feelings when there’s no where to go?
How do you forget the warmth of a kiss on a cold winters’ night?
How do you burn in the heat of passion without a light?

Can someone tell me how to find my way?
Can someone show me my hope for tomorrow when I’m not sure I can make it through today?
Can someone tell me how heal this pain in my heart?
How do I make it go away?

How do you be strong?
How do you pick up the pieces and go on?
How do you convince yourself you’re better off alone?
How do you close the door when you’ve never opened it for anyone before?
How do you pretend that you’ve never let anyone in?

Can someone tell me what I have to do?
Can someone tell me how to go on and forget about you?
Can someone give me sun instead of rain?
How do I get over this pain?

How do you love another when the memories linger on?
How do you kiss when it’s another’s’ lips you crave?
How do you change what your heart feels when you’ve fallen head over heels?
How do you know when love is dead?
How do you get it through your head?

Can someone tell me?
Can someone know the answer?
Can someone share the secret?
How do I turn away from yesterday?

How do you cherish a love when the one you loved is gone?
How do you keep the flame burning?
How do you stop your heart from yearning for the one who turned and ran away?
How do you keep your heart from turning cold?
How do you stop love from growing old?

Can someone harden my heart?
Can someone tell me how to start again?
Can someone stop me from loving?
How do you take a chance on someone new, when you can’t say goodbye?

How do you say goodbye?
