Goodbye Quote by Sam Smith
“Yes I do, I believe That one day I will be, where I was Right there, right next to you And it's hard, the days just seem so dark The moon, and the stars, are nothing without you Your touch, your skin, where do I begin? No words can explain, the way I'm missing you The night, this emptiness, this hole that I'm inside These tears, they tell their own story You told me not to cry when you were gone But the feeling's overwhelming, it's much too strong Can I lay by your side, next to you, you And make sure you're alright I'll take care of you And I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight I'm reaching out to you Can you hear my call? (Who's to say you won't hear me?) This hurt that I've been through I'm missing you, missing you like crazy You told me not to cry when you were gone But the feeling's overwhelming, it's much too strong Can I lay by your side, next to you, you And make sure you're alright I'll take care of you And I don't wanna be here if I can't be with you”

![“When I was a boy I didn't care about a thing It was me and this world and a broken dream I was blaming myself For all that was goin' wrong I was way out there On the wrong side of town And the ones that I loved I started pushing 'em out Then I realised That it was all my fault [Chorus] I've been…” quote by Nik Taylor](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/36b/nik-taylor-78959_dreams_when-i-was-a-boy-i-didn-t-care-about-a-t_10135.jpg)
