Early morning there’s a message on my phoneIt’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 goodbyeTo someone who’s been with me for my whole damn life?You gave me my name and the color of your eyesI see your face when I look at mineSo how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?
When I couldn’t, you always saw the best in meRight or wrong, you were always on my sideBut I’m scared of what life without you is likeAnd I saw the way she looked into your eyesAnd I promise if you go, I will make sure she’s alright
So how do I say goodbyeTo someone who’s been with me for my whole damn life?You gave me my name and the color of your eyesI see your face when I look at mineSo how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?
And there’s no way you could ever let me downGonna steal some time and start againYou’ll always be my closest friendAnd someday we are gonna make it outJust hold the light, just hold the light
So how do I say goodbyeTo someone who’s been with me for my whole damn life?You gave me my name and the color of your eyesI see your face when I look at mineSo how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?
