shouldn't be a good in goodbye.
jason walker

after the silence, after the last words.
caught in the silence,  
caught in between.

after the madness,
after the slow shock,
before the wave hits,
the flood comes rushing in.

this is the bad before the worse,
this is the storm before the storm,
i haven't even hit the bottom of this ocean floor.

this is the bend before the break,
this is the mercy not the grace,
this is the proof and not the faith i try to find.

there shouldn't be a good in goodbye.

... if i never had you,
i know that i'd... i still would have mourned you.

i would have missed your smile.

if it wasn't so worth it, this wouldn't be...

the bad before the worse,
the storm before the storm,
i haven't even hit the bottom of this ocean floor.

this is the bend before the break,
this is the mercy not the grace,
this is the proof and not the faith i try to find.

there shouldn't be a good in goodbye.

i know this is gonna get better,
i know this is gonna get better,
i know.

this is the bitter not the sweet,
this is the take and not the keep,
and i haven't even reached the bottom of this ocean floor.

this is the bend before the break,
this is the mercy not the grace,
this is the proof and not the faith i try to find.

there shouldn't be a good in goodbye.
