Story behind the song
Steph and I were talking one evening about people in our lives who have made a big difference in who we have become, including those we don't keep in contact with. The opening lines of the song popped into my head soon after, as I was walking home from work. The song grew from there.
Lyrics
When I said goodbye to you, did that mean forever
All that we’ve been through has really changed my life
When I said goodbye to you, I had hoped things would be better
But there was nothing left to do, so I turned and walked away
When I said goodbye to you
When I said goodbye to you
I saw life as a stage in high school, and acting out is how I came to find you
We hit it off and the world was not the same
We weren’t afraid to sing so out of tune
We learned to surf the waves across the room
And as time went on, I never thought I’d see the day
When I said goodbye to you, did that mean forever
All that we’ve been through has really changed my life
But when I said goodbye to you, I had hoped things would be better
Still, there was nothing left could do, so I turned and walked away
When I said goodbye to you
When I said goodbye to you
I loved the way our hearts and minds, they did blend
As hand in hand we dove into the deep end
We chased our demons, and blew the walls away
You were my angel you were my best friend
I swore we’d be together till the end
But then I was wrong, and I’ll never forget that day
When I said goodbye to you
Sometimes in the middle of the night
I think of you and hope life’s treating you alright, alright
It’s been awhile since we last said hello
Now if we did how would the conversation go, I don’t know...but
I’d love to share the thoughts inside my head
About the times we had and where they led
But these are things that may never be said to you
When I said goodbye to you, did that mean forever
All that we’ve been through has really changed my life
When I said goodbye to you, I had hoped things would be better
But there was nothing left to do, so I turned and walked away
When I said goodbye to you
When I said goodbye to you
