Chapter 38
Final chapter
Rachels pov :
I watched as everyone walked into the auditorium and I smiled and said , "Saying goodbye is not my strong point as some of you know but I love you guys so much and even though I'm leaving I want you to know I am coming back I expect to win Nationals when I do . So this isn't goodbye its more of a see ya later type of song because I know we'll all be together so I'm going to start before I start to cry because I can't. So Brad take it away. " I said and started :
( Rachel )
These walls and all these picture frames
Every name they show
These halls I've walked a thousand times
Heartbreaks and valentines, friends of mine all know
I look at everything I was
And everything I ever loved
And I can see how much I've grown
And though the mirror doesn't see it
It's clear to me, I feel it
I can make it on my own
I'm not afraid of moving on and letting go
It's just so hard to say goodbye to what I know, I know
This time no one's gonna say goodbye
I keep you in this heart of mine
This time I know it's never over
No matter who or what I am
I'll carry where we all began
This time that we had, I will hold forever
(Smiles at Finn)
This old familiar place is
Where every face is another part of me
I played a different game then
They called me a different name then
I think of all the things I did and how I wish I knew what I know now
I see how far I've come and what I got right
When I was looking for that spotlight
I was looking for myself
Got over what I was afraid of
I showed 'em all that I was made of
More than trophies on a shelf
For all the battles that we lost or might have won
I never stopped believing in the words we sung, we sung
This time no one's gonna say goodbye
I keep you in this heart of mine
This time I know it's never over
No matter who or what I am
I'll carry where we all began
This time that we had, I will hold forever
I'm looking out from the crossroads
I don't know how far away I will roll
I take a breath, I close my eyes
Your voice will carry me home
I keep you in this heart of mine
This time I know it's never over
No matter who or what I am
I'll carry where we all began
This time that we had, I will hold
This time that we had, I will hold
This time that we had, I will hold
Forever
Forever
(End of song )
Tears rolled down my face and I smiled at everyone blew them a kiss and left the stage and McKinley for now .
