Victory Heights goodbye old friend

You clearly understand me,
cause you're making it hard to breathe.
I know this is the right thing,
but the right thing isn't always easy.
I looked for a reason to believe,
I looked for a reason but came up empty handed.
Goodbye old friend,
it's time to move on,
my old friend.
I know this hurts,
but it's for the best.
So does it feel like you're drowning,
were you the first to catch your breath?
I still can't believe,
that after all this time,
I held you up and you were holding me back.
It's not going to go away,
unless you chase it 'til it's gone.
It's not going to fix itself,
it eats at you until there's nothing left.
You took your time,
you wasted mine.
You were always there,
but your head was somewhere else,
and your heart was never there.
But were you ever really there?
