A poignant and introspective song that captures the journey of self-acceptance and the bittersweet realization of letting go of unfulfilled dreams. 'Hello Goodbye' reflects on the echoes of a life envisioned but never realized, exploring themes of hope, loss, and finding peace in the moment.
Verse 1:
I can hear the echoes of a life that would never be mine
Didn't I chase a ghost I could never define
Too bitter to swallow, too sweet to decline
Never mind, ever I had the time of my life
Chorus:
I waved goodbye to the dreams I built on sand
With every step forward, I take a stand
Though shadows linger in the corners of my mind
I find solace in knowing I’ve had the time of my life
Verse 2:
Promises whispered, they faded like smoke
The visions I painted, now just paper and stroke
Yet in the silence, I hear my heart chime
Never mind, ever I had the chance to feel alive
Chorus:
I waved goodbye to the dreams I built on sand
With every step forward, I take a stand
Though shadows linger in the corners of my mind
I find solace in knowing I’ve had the time of my life
Bridge:
And if it’s meant to be, I’ll find peace in the fall
Every stumble, every rise, I’ve embraced through it all
With wings of acceptance, I’ll learn to fly
So here’s to the journey, not just the goodbye
Chorus:
I waved goodbye to the dreams I built on sand
With every step forward, I take a stand
Though shadows linger in the corners of my mind
I find solace in knowing I’ve had the time of my life
Outro:
So here's to tomorrow, a new sun will rise
I’ll walk with my scars, still I’ll reach for the skies
With every goodbye, there’s a chance to redefine
I’m okay saying hello to the life that’s now mine.

hello, so the idea is about coming to a quiet, resigned but happy acceptance that you'll never be what you thought/hoped you would,
so far the chorus is as follows, but i would like for you to come up with alternatives to "had the time of my life", please:
i can hear the echoes of a life that would never be mine
didnt i chase a ghost i could never define
too bitter to swallow, too sweet too decline
never mind, ever i had the time of my life
