Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, God I hate that word.

 

I try to be strong for you, so you wont change your mind about doing what you have to do

but it hurts so bad without you and I just want you to come back home.

 

                          (Chorus)

My heart is breaking and I cant stop weeping

I lay awake when I should be sleeping

Too many goodbyes for me to swallow

Letting go of so much fills me with such grief and sorrow

 

I took our time together for granted.  I guess I thought goodbye would never come,

or maybe I just couldn't face that fear.

 

My heart has been broken a million times before but I never thought it would be broken by you.

I knew I had to let go so you could grow into a more beautiful you.

 

But I had no idea how bad it would hurt to see you stretch your wings and fly away.

I feel so empty and lonely inside, yet Im filled to the brim with pride.

 

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, God I hate that word.

 

(Repeat Chorus)

 

Fly on my sweet, fly on.  I will be here when you come home.  I will hide my pain just for you, for you to make it through what you have to do.

 

Fly on my sweet, fly on and know that I love you.
