Description
From Chapter 7, “Goodbye,” of It’s Impossible by J H McIntosh — Act I: Love Awakens.
Aaron's song Goodbye with words like: Is it cruel to gift what cannot be received, if I call it love, am I the one deceived? Still my love endures through the letting go, because “goodbye’s” the kindest truth I know, shows how love and release can coexist with quiet grace. This song gently honors the courage it takes to let go without losing the heart’s enduring warmth. It reminds us that love’s true strength lies not in possession but in the mercy we extend, even when parting feels like the kindest truth we can offer. Listening encourages a compassionate embrace of both healing and hope amid farewell.
Lyrics
I never meant to hear your soul’s call,
I never knew it would make me…fall.
If love stands too close to the flame,
Watch your heart, it might stake its claim.
Stood too long in the warmth of your light,
Could not hide what burns so deep and bright.
It’s torment not to have what I long for,
I promise not to burden us…anymore
Is it cruel to gift what cannot be received,
If I call it love, am I the one deceived?
Still my love endures through the letting go,
Because “goodbye’s” the kindest truth I know.
You woke a light buried down so deep,
A fire that burns awake and at sleep.
Maybe love’s not measured by its return,
But by the mercy that waits when it burns.
Is it cruel to gift what cannot be received,
If I call it love, am I the one deceived?
Still my love endures through the letting go
Because “goodbye’s” the kindest truth I know.
So I’ll breathe the ache and give it to the sky,
Trade my wanting for the reason why.
God doesn’t give fear to rule my mind,
He gives it love, and a sound design.
Love isn’t gone, it’s just been set free,
Goodbye doesn’t end my love for thee.
I don’t need your answer to make this real,
The look in your eyes helps my heart to heal.
Your smile is the grace I breathe each day,
Love doesn’t end; it just kneels to pray.
Is it cruel to gift what cannot be received,
If I call it love, am I the one deceived?
Still my love endures through the letting go,
Because “goodbye’s” the kindest truth I know.
There’s a peace that only heaven can provide,
When goodbye becomes the holy side.
The holy side… of goodbye.
The holy side… of goodbye.
