Starts With Goodbye

I was sitting on my doorstep
I hung up the phone and it fell out of my hand
But I knew I had to do it
And he wouldn't understand
So hard to see myself without him
I felt a piece of my heart break
But when you're standing at a crossroad
There's a choice you gotta make
I guess it's gonna have to hurt
I guess I'm gonna have to cry
And let go of some things I've loved
To get to the other side
I guess it's gonna bring me down
Like falling when you try to fly
It's sad, but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life
Starts with goodbye
I know there's a blue horizon
Somewhere up ahead, just waiting for me
Getting there means leaving things behind
Sometimes life's so bittersweet
I guess it's gonna have to hurt
I guess I'm gonna have to cry
The night goes on, and some things that I'll have
To give to the other side
I guess it's gonna bring me down
Like falling when you try to fly
It's sad, but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life
Starts with goodbye
Time, time heals
The wounds that you feel
Somehow, right now
I guess it's gonna have to hurt
I guess I'm gonna have to cry
And let go of some things I've loved
To get to the other side
I guess it's gonna bring me down
Like falling when you try to fly
It's sad, but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life
Starts with goodbye
I guess I'm gonna have to cry
And let go of some things I've loved
To get to the other side
Starts with goodbye
The only way you try to find
Moving on with the rest of your life
Starts with goodbye
Na na na na na na na
