Lyrics "Didn't Get to Say Goodbye" by Dan Harman

I keep seeing your face lately

In places it don’t belong

Grocery store, the hallway

When an old song comes on.

I still reach for my phone sometimes

Then remember what I can’t do.

Funny how the smallest habits

Are the hardest ones to lose

It ain’t the goodbye that hurts

It’s what’s stayed quiet

I didn’t get to say goodbye

I didn’t know I had to

Didn’t know the door was closing

Didn’t know the night was through

I would have stood there longer

Would have said it plain and true

I didn’t get to say goodbye

And that still follows me.

I don’t replay the last time.

Trying to change how it went down

I just think about the look you gave me

When I turned around

People say you probably knew

The way people always say

Theres a difference in knowing

And hearing it face to face.

That’s the part that stays

I didn’t get to say goodbye

I didn’t get the chance

Didn’t get that one last second

To let it land

I would’ve taken my time

Let the silence do its part

I didn’t get to say goodbye

And that’s the part I carry

Love don’t disappear

Just because it wasn’t said

Some nights I still wish

You heard it before you left

I didn’t get to say goodbye

Didn’t get that moment

Every word I didn’t speak

It’s still holding

If I had one more breath of time

I know what I would do

I would look you in the eye

And let you know

I didn’t get to say
