Occurred to me the other day   You've been gone now a couple years   Well I guess it takes a while   For someone to really disappear   And I remember where I was   When the word came about you   It was a day much like today   The sky was bright and wide and blue      Chorus   And I wonder where you are   And if the pain ends when you die   And I wonder if there was   Some better way to say goodbye      Today my heart is big and sore   It's trying to push right through my skin   Won't see you anymore   I guess that's finally sinking in   Cause you can't make somebody see   With the simple words you say   All their beauty from within   Sometimes they just look away      Chorus      Some better way to say goodbye
