I never got to say Good-bye,
I never thought I had to,
Coming home from school all those times
And knowing you would be there.
Because childhood innocence
Promised me you would be there
Forever.

The last time I saw you,
I was going away
Looking toward the adventure
Too excited to look back
I promised myself I would come back to say "hi"

Well, now I'm back
But you're not here anymore
And no matter how much I scream and cry about the unfairness
I will never see you smile again.

I never got to say good-bye
Because I always thought I would have one more hello
Now I have neither
Now you've gone on your big adventure
But you can't come back.

Dedicated to our beloved Orbe, who left before there was time for a proper good-bye.
