Every Goodbye from Every Goodbye by Patrice Richmond

I remember every goodbye, we’ve had so many over all this time
Leaving me between the known and pushed and pulled to where I’ve not gone

There will come a day when, goodbye will be hello
There will be a time to come, to stay and not to go

Until then, let’s build a bridge
With pieces of our hearts, pieces of our hearts
Until then, there’ll be a way
To mend the broken parts, to mend the broken parts
We’ll build a bridge across, in strength of what we lost

These goodbyes are bridges drawn with each goodbye heavy and raw
With our hearts, this weight we’ll pull, though each goodbye is adding to the load

I’ll build to you, you build to me
Though hard as it may be, we’ll build it up to see
You build to me, I’ll build to you
Not with things we knew, but in the way we grew

Until then, let’s build a bridge
With pieces of our hearts, pieces of our hearts
Until then, there’ll be a way
To mend the broken parts, He’ll mend the broken parts

Until then, let’s build a bridge
With pieces of our hearts, with pieces
Until then, there’ll be a way
To mend the broken parts, to mend the broken parts
We’ll build a bridge across, in strength of what we lost
Not with what we knew, but in the way we grew
