Did We Have To Come This Far To Say Goodbye - Connie Smith

Looking out on the winter sun From your side of the bed I hear the rain falling on the rooftop You've got me hiding again I believe I'm not the weak one But is my silence a strength? All of my worries unpack so neatly On your side of the bed Ooh, come to say goodbye, ooh Heaven knows we've tried, ooh Come to say goodbye Love can be trying Treading your sensitivities Signs that I should have read Under the sheets of our instabilities You've got me hiding again I found my heart in that winter sun While I was lost in your head I'll never see who I am, or could be From your side of the bed Ooh, come to say goodbye, ooh Heaven knows we've tried, ooh Come to say goodbye Love can be trying Ooh, all the tears we've cried, ooh There's nothing left to try, ooh Come to say goodbye Love can be trying Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Looking out on the winter sun From your side of the bed I see my heart in that winter sun No, I'm not hiding again (Come to say goodbye) Looking out on the winter sun (Come to say goodbye) From your side of the bed (Come to say goodbye) I see my heart in that winter sun (Come to say goodbye) No, I'm not hiding again Come to say goodbye (looking out on the winter sun) Come to say goodbye (from your side of bed) Come to say goodbye (see my heart in that winter sun) Come to say goodbye Come to say goodbye (hmm-hmm)

I didn't come this far to only come this far I hear some people saying things like "When I make it..." "When I get to the top..." "I'll keep working hard until I get to the top" "Until I reach my goal" Let me tell you something There is no end! Winners never stop If you reach your goal Set a bigger goal If you get to the top of the mountain Find a bigger mountain! It's the journey The continued pursuit of growth The constant seeking of improvement The challenge That's what makes life great That's what makes a fulfilled life I didn't come this far to only come this far! When I get this goal, I'll seek more Not more things, more growth Constantly pushing myself to be better I didn't come this far to only come this far! I came this far so I could be strong enough to go further! So I would be good enough to push myself harder! I'm only getting started This is just the beginning I am proud of my achievements But that doesn't mean I'll settle for them Proud but never satisfied Proud but forever hungry Proud and always ready Proud but pushing Pushing for more Pushing for great A true winner doesn't seek only the title A true winner seeks growth A true winner seeks greatness It's the journey It's the challenge Don't tell me it's over I'ma just getting warmed up! If the journey wasn't challenging The destination wouldn't be rewarding It's the challenge that makes the greatness You can't have a champion athlete Without great competitors pushing them all the way You can't have the greatest of all time Without champions pushing them all the way It's the journey, the process that makes the greatness If you reach your goal Set a bigger goal If you get to the top of the mountain Find a bigger mountain!
