My eyes are open wide
By the way, I made it through the day
I watch the world outside
By the way, I'm leaving out today
I just saw Halley's comet, she waved
Said: Why you always running in place?
Even the man in the Moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere
Tell my mother, tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize, this is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Please don't try one tear for me
I'm not afraid of what I have to say
This is my one and only voice
So listen close, it's only for today
I just saw Halley's comet, she waved
Said: Why you always running in place?
Even the man in the Moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere
Tell my mother, tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize, this is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Here is my chance
This is my chance
Tell my mother, tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize, this is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
