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 good

bye,

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,

how do I, how do I,

how do I say goo

dbye?

Verse 2

When I

couldn't yo

u, 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.

how do I say goo

dbye?

Bridge

And there's

no way you can ever let me

dow

You wanna

steal you some time and start again,

You'll

always be my closest friend,

And

some day, we are gonna make it

Just hold the

light, just hold the

light.
