Chris

Chris, you always had a quiet way

You’d sit and listen to the things I’d say

You were a gentle spirit, a soft place to land

I thought I was safe just holding your hand

But the sky wasn't always gonna stay blue

And I had to learn the hard way about you

I used to love you with all that I had

But you run for the door when the weather gets bad

You’re a gentle soul, but you give up so fast

When the road got rough, you left me in the past

I thought we’d fight, but you didn't even try

Just a gentle heart and an easy goodbye

The first sign of trouble, the first heavy rain

You couldn't handle a little bit of pain

I stood there ready to weather the dark

But the moment it got tough, it was too much for your heart

You let go of the rope, you just folded your hand

And walked away from the life we had planned

I used to love you with all that I had

But you run for the door when the weather gets bad

You’re a gentle soul, but you give up so fast

When the road got rough, you left me in the past

I thought we’d fight, but you didn't even try

Just a gentle heart and an easy goodbye

I don't hate you, Chris, I just wish you knew

That love isn't only when the skies are clear blue

It’s holding on tight when it all falls apart

But that kind of grit isn't there in your heart

Yeah, I used to love you with all that I had

But you run for the door when the weather gets bad

You’re a gentle soul, but you give up so fast

When the road got rough, you left me in the past

I thought we’d fight, but you didn't even try

Just a gentle heart and an easy goodbye

Yeah, I used to love you, Chris... goodbye
