For a Long Time by PAVVLA Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the lights dimmed down to a darker tone
My house felt too empty, too quiet before
The sun was shining without a change in the wind
It rains so much I might be drowning

[Chorus]
For a long time I thought this would never end
The song we once sang would forever play
For a long time I knew you had backed up your clothes
'Cause every goodbye starts with hello

[Verse 2]
It's hard to wake up not knowing where to go
I wish I'd forgotten everything that we saw
That way nothing would remind me of
How my life was before you had to go

[Chorus]
For a long time I thought this would never end (never end)
The song we once sang would forever play
For a long time I knew you had backed up your clothes
'Cause every goodbye starts with hello
[Verse 3]
And I inked my skin so I could go everywhere
Showing you off, even when I'm miles away
And when I’m eighty-six and my grand-kids try
To rub off the drawing I wear on my arm

[Chorus]
For a long time I knew this would never end (never end)
The song we once sang will forever be played
For a long time I knew you had backed up your clothes
'Cause every goodbye starts with hello
Yeah, every goodbye starts with hello
