Description
From Chapter 8, “Goodbye,” of It’s Impossible by J H McIntosh — Act I: Love Awakens.
Belle, in her version of Goodbye invites us into a tender moment of reflection, where the quiet ache of farewell unfolds with gentle honesty. The music cradles vulnerability and courage, allowing space for both pain and grace to coexist. As soft harmonies echo like a whispered prayer, the song offers a compassionate embrace that acknowledges the complexity of relationships. Listening closely, you may find a quiet strength stirring, a hopeful breath that reminds us: even in goodbye, kindness and mercy quietly endure.
Lyrics
You said goodbye, like a prayer in disguise,
Each word gentle, but cutting deep inside.
I never asked for love you couldn’t keep,
I’m talking to silence awake and in sleep.
I called it strength, you felt my pain,
I built those walls, to hide the shame.
Somehow you knew, you alone could see,
Walls built to protect, have captured me.
It’s not cruel to give what I cannot receive,
To say I’m ready for love, would just deceive.
You say “goodbye’s” the kindest truth you know,
My heart cries, as I think you’re letting go.
You gave your heart with no return,
A love that deep within you burns.
Is true love not dependent on two,
Just one who loves from a heart that’s true.
It’s not cruel to give what I cannot receive,
To say I’m ready for love, would just deceive.
You say “goodbye’s” the kindest truth you know,
My heart cries, as I think you’re letting go.
If courage is just faith in disguise,
Then maybe I’ve been closing my eyes.
God, if You’re here, don’t let this fade,
Keep near the love that You made.
Kindness heals the hurt away,
Mercy taught my heart to pray.
Even though his love was never a lie.
I see Your hand in his goodbye,
Maybe love never says “goodbye”,
Maybe, maybe, maybe tomorrow mends a heart’s cry.
Maybe, …..love heals.
Maybe, maybe , maybe…
