Lyrics Can I Really? (Supposed Departure) [Live] - Von Smith

Just yesterday
I was holding you
We were talkin' 'bout
All our hopes and dreams
Living 'til the end
Love was our best friend
Until yesterday
When it died

It seems the world is
Just empty shapes
No color or light
To fill in the lines
Just lost souls
Floating through space
And I'm supposed to
Just give it time

Can I really say goodbye
(Ah ah ay?)
Can I sit and watch you go?
(I don't know, please tell me!)
Can I relearn how to fly?
Ah can I
Rest on my laurels
Settle and swallow
The hopes that I had
Before doubt went and
Followed me home?

And would you say
After all that's changed
That you're better off
That you're finally sane?
Without me still there
To sit in your chair
And be everywhere
That ya go and would ya

Follow my every move?
If I was a mess
Would you still obsess
And would ya fall back
Into my groove?
Or will I just fade
Into the past?

Can I really say goodbye
(Ah ah ay?)
Can I sit and watch you go?
(I don't know, please tell me!)
Can I relearn how to fly?
Ah can I
Rest on my laurels
Settle and swallow
The hopes that I had
Before doubt went and
Followed me home?

Ooooooo

The darkness
Is so much larger
Since your
Supposed departure
The world is
Foreign and harsher
Since your
Supposed departure
Since your
Supposed departure
Since your
Supposed departure

Can I really say
Goodbye
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ay?
Can I sit and watch you go?
Can I relearn how to fly?
Ah ah ah ah ah ay?
Will I
Will I ever know?
Tell me will I ever really
Stop
Always wondering
Why ah ah ay?
Will I ever really grow?
Oh, oh
Can I really say goodbye?
Can I
Rest on my laurels
Settle and swallow
My hope for tomorrow
And let myself wallow
In oceans so shallow
And drown in fake mottos
Remaining so hollow
So childish and callow
Forgetting I fell
Or will I never learn to
Let go?

Do we ever
Really
Say
Goodbye?
