Don't wish me farewell
Don't tell me good-bye
We cannot see what tomorrow will bring
Don't wish me farewell
Don't say good-bye
We do not know what the future holds


I'm sorry for the wounds that I've made
I'm sorry for all my past mistakes
I'm sorry for the things that I've done
All I want now is to come back home

Don't wish me farewell
Don't push me away
How else will I tell you that I have changed?
Don't send me away
I know you're in pain
How can I undo the wounds that I've made?


You don't understand all that went wrong
You don't know; it's not what you think
I wish I could tell you where I have been
I wish you would listen and believe
Oh won't you listen to me!

Don't wish me farewell
Don't tell me good-bye
I need your forgiveness to make this right
Don't tell me to go
I need you to know
I need you to listen to me this night


I'm sorry I caused you pain
Forgive me now I pray
Don't push me away
Forever's too long
But farewell is not forever


Don't wish me farewell
Don't say good-bye
Just give me a chance to prove that I'm right
Don't harden your heart
I'm cold and I'm hurt
I don't want to know another sleepless night


Don't wish me farewell
Don't tell me to leave
You are the only one I've ever dreamed of
Don't shut me out here
Don't shun me forever
Some day, I'll prove that I'm not the same
Some day, I'll tell you why I betrayed
Some day, I want to be able to see your face


I walk this darkened road alone
How long before I can come back home?
Alternative title: Daalia's song.

A song I wrote a while back. I woke up with the lyrics of the first chorus in my head and once I started writing it down, the rest followed. After writing it, I noticed that it fit the theme of one of my character's from a novel I'm writing; hence the alternate title.

Bold is the choruses. The bridge is italicized.

And no, I don't actually have a tune for the entire song. Just the chorus.

P.S. I honestly don't know to which category this belongs... dA doesn't have a Fantasy group for Poetry.
