Bye Bye

[Mariah Carey]

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye
Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky 'cause we will never say bye

Right now I know you're breaking inside
Although it might appear as if you're pulling through
Deep down, your emotions are like tidal waves

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
"I wish I could talk to you for awhile"
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by
And it's true that you've reached a better place
Still I'd give the world to see your face
And I'm right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say bye bye

"Farewell" is a term that doesn't belong to our age group
Imagining in the future...
The only chance of meeting is within dreams
It's such a daunting prospect, yet it's become reality

Next year going to university, less one encouraging hug
At the wedding ceremony, minus tears of happiness
Getting the first job, without the cherished blessing...
It hurts.

And you never got the chance to see how good I've done
And you never got to see me back at number one
I wish that you were here to celebrate together
I wish that we could spend the holidays together

I remember when you used to tuck me in at night
With the Teddy Bear you gave to me that I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
You'd make it through whatever
It's so hard to accept the fact you're gone forever

This holiday has been such a rude awakening
I never knew life was so fragile
What are results, achievements, physical appearances... in relation to a life?
The scariest thing is when you're facing an invisible enemy
You don't know how they're striking
Yet you somehow have to counteract it's offensive attack
How do you heal a person who's suffering from the unknown?
It's impossible.

All I can say is that our prayers are with you
God understands your pain, He cares.
Stay strong xx
R.I.P.

Bye bye
