SAY GOODBYE
IN order to feel happy, you have sat thru sadness,
IN order to be sane, you have entered the madness.
IN order to feel the absence, you were once here,
IN order to understand, the facts need to be clear.
IN order to hate, you once knew love,
IN order to understand below, you must rise above.
IN order to give, you had to take,
IN order to learn, you must make a mistake.
IN order to know chaos, you have been at peace,
IN order to hang on, you must practice the release.
IF it's worth living for, it's worth dying for,
IF you play the game, then settle the score.
IN order to know truth, you have heard a lie,
IN order to say hello, you must say goodbye…….
