Early morning, there's a message on my phoneIt's my mother saying, darling, please come homeI fear the worst, how could you leave us all behind?There's so much to say, but there's so little timeSo how do I say goodbyeTo someone who's been with me for my whole damn lifeYou 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 awayWhen you were wrong, you were always on my sideBut I'm scared of what life without you's likeAnd I saw the way she looked into your eyesAnd I promise if you go, I will make sure she's alrightSo how do I say goodbyeTo someone who's been with me for my whole damn lifeYou 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're gonna make it outJust hold the lightJust hold the lightSo how do I say goodbyeTo someone who's been with me for my whole damn lifeYou 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?
