Analysis of We never said Goodbye



It broke my heart to see you go for we're the reason why
 It took forever but I learned on how to say goodbye
 I often lay in bed at night and wonder reasons why
 You never turned to me and said I have to leave goodbye
 Wear that flag and wear it proud for you're a navy guy
 We never had a chance to hug or even say goodbye
 I think about you over there I simply want to die
 What's the reason me and you never said goodbye
 Was it too hard, you know I'd cry
 Was that the reason for no goodbye
 I think about you everyday and truly that's no lie
 Now I know it's just too hard to ever say goodbye
 All that's left for me to do is look up at the sky
 And pray to God that I must never have to say goodbye
