seasons
Jackson D. D. Lyrics

I won't say goodbye
I refuse to use a cliché expression to mark the end of our relationship

I don't want to use that exit line
I'm determined not to resort to a trite phrase to conclude our time together

Please don't make me lie
I'm unable to come up with a falsehood to justify our separation

I have no excuse for you this time
I'm out of reasons to blame or explain away our falling out

Cause sometimes
Occasionally or infrequently

(It's alright for a season)
(It's acceptable during a certain period)

But then it's time to go
But at some point it's necessary to move on

The verses of my life are moving past
The chapters of my existence are receding

And so now the chorus I must hear
Therefore, I need to pay attention to the main message or theme of my life

I've got to define my life and times
I must determine the significance of my experiences and existence

Before I can give you more than tears
Only then can I offer you more than mere emotions

Your heart was stretched to the point of breaking
You were emotionally strained to the brink of collapse

Your tears are etched and your sorrow is waking
You bear visible traces of your extreme sadness and melancholy

This complicated curse
This intricate affliction

Causes you to freeze our love in time
Makes you petrify our affection in stasis

If I awaken that first
If I'm the one to end it first

It's only 'cause you lost yourself in mine
It's solely because you've become completely absorbed in me

Please don't let me see you cry
I implore you not to let me bear witness to your tears

Cause sometimes
Occasionally or infrequently

It's alright for a season
It's acceptable during a certain period

But then it's time to go
But at some point it's necessary to move on
