[Intro]:
[Verse 1]:
Early mornin', there's a message on my phone,
It's my mother saying "Darlin', 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.
[Chorus]:
So how do I say goodbye,
To someone's who's been with me for my whole damn life?
You gave me my name and the color of your eyes,
I see your face when I look at mine,
So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?
[Verse 2]:
When I couldn't you, you always saw the best in me,
Right or wrong, you were always on my side,
I'm scared of what life without you's like,
And I saw the way she looked into your eyes.
[Pre-Chorus]:
And I promised if you go,
I will make sure she's alright.
[Chorus]:
So how do I say goodbye,
To someone's who's been with me for my whole damn life?
You gave me my name and the color of your eyes,
I see your face when I look at mine,
So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?
[Bridge]:
And there's no way you can ever let me down,
[C*]
You wanna steal you some time and start again,
[G*]
You'll always be my closest friend,
And some day, we are gonna make it out,
Just hold the light, just hold the light.
[Chorus]:
So how do I say goodbye,
To someone's who's been with me for my whole damn life?
You gave me my name and the color of your eyes,
I see your face when I look at mine,
So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?
[Outro]:
So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?
