[Intro – Soft Acoustic Guitar, Gentle Piano, Reflective Tone]
No heavy weight, no final scream
Just the closing of a scene
A simple nod, a quiet sign
That everything has reached its line
[Verse 1]
We tried to hold the moment still
Bent the world to match our will
But every story finds its way
To where it ends at the end of day
No need for drama, no disguise
Just the truth behind your eyes
Every path, no matter how wide
Leads you gently to the side
[Pre-Chorus]
(Why so perplexed?)
When it’s time to exit
My strategy:
(Say good-bye)
No need to fight it, just comply
(Say good-bye)
[Chorus]
No, it’s no tragedy
(In the end, “The End”)
Bye-bye
(Please don’t cry)
Every chapter set you free
(Just let it be)
Bye-bye
(Please don’t cry)
[Verse 2 – Warm Bass, Light Percussion]
We built the world, we played our part
Signed our names, then broke the chart
But nothing holds when time moves on
Even when the feeling’s strong
So take the bow, release the stage
Turn the final, gentle page
No collapse, no falling apart
Just a soft return to heart
[Pre-Chorus]
(Why so perplexed?)
There’s nothing left to rectify
Just the moment to reply
(Say good-bye)
No more questions asking “why”
(Say good-bye)
[Chorus]
No, it’s no tragedy
(In the end, “The End”)
Bye-bye
(Please don’t cry)
Nothing lost eternally
(Just memory)
Bye-bye
(Please don’t cry)
[Refrain]
And, now you know
It’s time to go
(See you after the show)
Not a matter of why
Not like we’ll die
(Bye-bye)
Say good-bye
(Bye-bye)
Just let it fly
(Bye-bye)
[Bridge – Piano Focus, Minimal Guitar]
Every ending’s just a door
To somewhere you were before
Or somewhere still yet to be
Just a shift in scenery
No need to hold what won’t remain
No need to carry every name
Let it fade and let it pass
Like reflections in the glass
[Build – Subtle Rise, Strings Enter]
Step by step, release the line
Everything will realign
Nothing truly disappears
It just changes through the years
[Final Chorus – Soft but Full]
No, it’s no tragedy
(In the end, “The End”)
Bye-bye
(Please don’t cry)
Everything is meant to be
(Quietly)
Bye-bye
(Please don’t cry)
[Final Refrain – Gentle Fade]
And, now you know
It’s time to go
(See you after the show)
Not a matter of why
Not like we’ll die
(Bye-bye)
Say good-bye
(Bye-bye)
[Outro – Soft Guitar Harmonics, Fade Out]
Good-bye…
Just good-bye…
[Silence]
