How Do I Say Goodbye

Early morning

There's a message on my phone

It's my mother saying: Darling, please, come home

I fear the worst

But how could you leave us all behind?

There's so much to say, but there's so little time

So how do I say goodbye

To someone who's been with me for my whole damn life?

You gave me my name and the colour of your eyes

I see your face when I look at mine

So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?

When I couldn't

You always saw the best in me

Right or wrong, you were always on my side

But I'm scared

Of what life without you's like

And I saw the way she looked into your eyes

And I promised, if you go

I will make sure she's alright

So how do I say goodbye

To someone who's been with me for my whole damn life?

You gave me my name and the colour of your eyes

I see your face when I look at mine

So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?

And there's no way you could ever let me down

Gonna steal some time and start again

You'll always be my closest friend

And someday we are gonna make it out

Just hold the light, just hold the light high, high

So how do I say goodbye

To someone who's been with me for my whole damn life?

You gave me my name and the colour of your eyes

I see your face when I look at mine

So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?

So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?
