LilRadRidingHood's video: Closure Original Song

Today marks two years since my high school closed about a month before the start of my senior year. Everything worked out okay, but I wish I had time to say goodbye and to be with everyone knowing it would be our last time together as a community. I never really had that final moment of closure. So I wrote this song instead. You know, things may not always end neatly, but don't let that stop you from moving on and living your best life. As always, thanks for listening! Stay rad B) ~ Here are the lyrics with the chords I played on my mandolin: Em C G D x3 So much hoping We could get it together and keep the foundations alive That’s what I get for Forging a home in a place that could never survive Don’t you dare try to tell me it was all for the best Em C G D Am D You are not the one trying to put these tainted memories to rest Em C G D x4 Just know that there are times when To entrust is to abandon Sometimes letting go means losing hope Now here’s my last goodbye The words of closure that you denied us When you waited ‘til the end to let us know Em C G D x3 So what if we saw the signs Is it wrong to have faith and believe that we can rise up And yeah life was difficult But it seemed that with time maybe we could’ve changed our luck Who’s to say whether I’m still remembered or if I am missed Em C G D Am D Each of us has gone our separate ways but nevertheless we’ll persist Em C G D x4 Just know that there are times when To entrust is to abandon Sometimes letting go means losing hope Now here’s my last goodbye The words of closure that you denied us Em G D When you waited ‘til the end to let us know Em C Now here’s my last goodbye G C The words of closure that you denied G C To those mementos that you denied Bm C To the fading yearbook of my mind Bm C The only thing left to remind G C D Me of that life that we left behind Em C G D Just know that there are times when To entrust is to abandon Em C D D7 Sometimes letting go means losing hope Em C G D x3 Now here’s my last goodbye The words of closure that you denied us When you waited ‘til the end to let us know When we deserved to know Em C G D7 … C G D And I know there’s a chance that it was all for the best Em C G D Em Either way it’s time to finally put all these old memories to rest
