📖 Story

Layer 3 — The Public Story Fan-facing

Fan hook. If there's a version of you that you've been judging instead of forgiving — this song is for her.

This song is a letter.

It's a letter to a version of me I spent years being embarrassed about. The one who made the wrong choices. The one who stayed too long. The one who left too soon. The one who kept making the same mistake on a different street with a different person, certain it would turn out different this time.

For a long time when I thought about her, I felt shame.

Then one day I tried something different. I tried compassion. I sat with her instead of yelling at her. I asked her what she was actually trying to do. And the answer that came back was so simple I almost missed it.

She was doing the best she could with what she knew at the time.

That was it. That was the whole thing. Not an excuse. Not a justification. Just the truth.

This song is me handing her the goodbye she never got. With grace this time. With gratitude. With the understanding that she didn't fail me. She got me here.

"She was doing the best she could with what she knew at the time."

VerseMascara stains
On a pillow case
Didn't brush her teeth
Didn't wash her face
I used think, she was a such a disgrace
When she was drinkin'
Tryin' to fit in
Marlboro reds in her coat
Slip out back for a smoke
She'll be calling last call
And they'll all be going home
She'll Wish on a north star
To get out of this bar
Oh someday,
Maybe one dayPre-ChorusAnd the years just flew by
Knew that she had to try
To get out of this go-nowhere dive
And the sands in the glass
Were filling up fast
So she knew it was just about timeChorusThe gift of goodbye
When you finally let go
Whatcha know isn't right
But still feels like home
What got her here
What do this time
But if I don't leave her behind
She'll never get
The gift of goodbyeVerse 2Goodbye ain't good riddance
Knew She had to get rid of
The shame that she carried
Kept her in a prison
But she knows she can't change
Till she breaks from those chains
Oh someday
Maybe one dayChorusThe gift of goodbye
When you finally let go
Whatcha know isn't right
But it still feels like home
What got her here
What do this time
But if I don't leave her behind
She'll never get
The gift of goodbyeBridgeI can hold her
Without holding on
Cause where I'm going
She can't come along
People thought that she
Had bout lost her mind
Oh but like me
She was just trying to surviveChorusThe gift of goodbye
When you finally let go
Whatcha know isn't right
But still feels like home
What got her here
What do this time
But if I don't leave her behind
She'll never get
The gift of goodbye
So I'm gonna leave her behind
And give her the gift of goodbye
