With Hope

That is not at all how we thought it was supposed to be
We had so many plans for you, we had so many dreams
And now you've gone away and left us
With the memories of your smiles
And nothing we can say and nothing we can do
Can take away the pain, the pain of losing you

We can cry with hope, we can say goodbye with hope
'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end
We can grieve with hope, because we believe with hope
There's a place where we'll see your face again

Never have I known anything so hard to understand
Never have I questioned more the wisdom of God's plan
But through the cloud of tears I see
The Father smile and say well done
And I imagine you where God wanted you to be
Seeing all your dreams come true
Some day we'll be home and we will be free

We can cry with hope, we can say goodbye with hope
'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end
We can grieve with hope, because we believe with hope
There's a place where we'll see your face again

We have this hope like as an anchor
'Cause we believe that everything God promised us is true

So we can cry with hope, we can say goodbye with hope
'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end
We can grieve with hope, because we believe with hope
There's a place
By God's grace
There's a place where we'll see your face again

I'm trying so hard to forget you
And leave the life we had behind
And there are times I feel
The day has come
I've chased you from my mind

But I'm afraid there's always something
That sets me back and makes me see
You're more than just a memory in the past
You're still a part of me

So how do I stop loving you
Forget things that we used to do
Forget all the dreams that we shared
And how my life was knowing you cared
Why do I end up where I start
Each time I try
Just tell me how I can forget
So I can say goodbye

I'm tired of all the lonely evenings
And all the many times I've cried
I'm tired of wondering
What I might have done
To keep you by my side

I'd peer into your empty bedroom
And start remembering you're gone
And though I know that
We can never be
This pain in me goes on

So how do I stop loving you
Forget things that we used to do
Forget all the dreams that we shared
And how my life was knowing you cared
Why do I end up where I start
Each time I try
Just tell me how I can forget
So I can say goodbye

So how do I stop loving you
Please tell me why
I find it so hard to forget
And hard to say
Goodbye

Goodbye
There's a word I've hated all my life
Unanticipated tears can hurt so much

My friend
It's so sad to see you at love's end
I've been through the pain myself
It's really wrong to play it strong

Go on and cry 'till you run dry
It's alright
Go on and scream at broken dreams
It's alright
Let sorrow have it's day
And when it's done
Life will go on

In time
Thoughts of might have been will leave your mind
And sweet forgetfulness will come
Don't worry now
Just when or how

Go on and cry 'till you run dry
It's alright
Go on and scream at broken dreams
It's alright
Let sorrow have it's day

To cry out is no crime
In no time
Life will go on
