Early morning, there's a message on my phone
It'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 goodbye
To someone who's been with me for my whole damn life
You gave me my name and the colour of your eyes
I see your face when I look at mine
And so how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye
When I couldn't
You always saw the best in me
Right or wrong
You always saw the best in me

You're always on my side
But I'm scared
Of what life without you's like
And I saw the way she looked into your eyes
And I promise if you go
I will make sure she's alright
So how do I say goodbye
To someone who's been with me for my whole damn life
You gave me my name and the colour of your eyes
I see your face when I look at mine
And so how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye
And there's no way you could ever let me down
Gonna steal some time and start again
You'll always be my closest friend
And someday
You'll always be my closest friend
And someday you're gonna make it out
Just hold the light
Just hold the light
So how do I say goodbye
To someone who's been with me for my whole damn life
You gave me my name and the colour of your eyes
I see your face when I look at mine
And so how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye
And so how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye
And so how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye
