I can’t explain I need to be alone The timing’s inconvenient, I know Our needs don’t change When the people we need disappear Can’t skip the process to heal Things will never be the same I hate these new beginnings That start with goodbyes Hate when the pain cuts deep I need to cry I can't be all I’m needed to be Hating the process won’t change a thing And change is what I need One week turned to three Into an indefinite time That I needed space and quiet I found the most peace In choosing to release The need to make everything alright Things will never be the same I hate these new beginnings That start with goodbyes Hate that when the pain cuts deep I need to cry I can't be all I’m needed to be Hating the process won’t change a thing And change is what I need Things will never be the same I need to believe Please let me believe I hate these new beginnings That start with goodbyes Hate when the pain cuts deep I need to cry I can't be all I’m needed to be Hating the process won’t change a thing Painfully honest, been here for years Change is what I need Change is what I need Change is what I need
