Too Many Goodbyes...

Is this really what it's gonna come to?
Another end and goodbyes to you
Planted firmly in my heart and gonna be torn out at the root
Just as I fall for y'all you get the boot....

I can't continue to do this.

This aching wandering heart
Always seems to get a new start
But can never find a place to stay
And is left longing for things far away....

I can't continue to do this.

Endlessly moving and on the roam
Continually seeking a place to call home
Letting people get in so close
Next thing you know they seem mere ghosts....

I can't continue to do this.

I experience joy in all of the smiles
Yet am crushed when I look ahead a lil while
Out across to the distant dawn
And all of this is gonna be gone....

I can't continue to do this.

While you will always have my love
I don't know that that'll be enough
Great distances will begin to take their toll
And once again I'll be a broken soul....

I can't continue to do this.

When memories begin to fade
And soft becomes the foundation we lade
When we begin to talk less and less
My heart is gonna be left a mess....

I can't continue to do this.

A few months here and a year or so there
Then off to only God knows where
I like experiencing all these incredible things
But all these goodbyes are starting to sting....

I can't continue to do this.

I can feel my heart begin to get hard
As if it is putting itself on guard
Preparing for what is to come
And hoping to help the pain at least some....

I can't continue to do this.

Going from community to community
Leaves me tired, worn, and weary
No matter how loose or tight we weave
It seems I always have to leave....

I can't continue to do this.

Something dear to me I always seem to lose
These goodbyes are becoming old news
Yet to each of these my heart is in tune
And they all leave me with a fresh wound....

I can't continue to do this.

I feel like I have no solid ground
None of my footing seems to be sound
So I continue to slip and fall
At the bottom I sit and helplessly bawl....

I can't continue to do this.

All I can do is cling to Him
Because all these goodbyes leave me feeling so grim
The only thing left to do
Is cry out "God I need You"....

Because I can't continue to do this.
