Goodbye lyrics

[Verse 1]

All my life, I read between the lines

Held on too tight, you know I tried

But in the end, it left me paralyzed

It's alright, goodbye, goodbye

Seems like yesterday I was a child

Just a ripple in the folds of time

I wish you well, I want to see you smile

It's alright, goodbye

Goodbye

[Chorus]

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

I won't cry, I won't cry, I won't cry

Lord knows how hard we tried

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

[Verse 2]

So many things I want to say to you

So many sleepless nights I prayed for you

My heart's an ashtray and I lost my mind

You bring the smokes, I've got the time

I want to scream, I want to laugh, I want to close my eyes

I want to hide somewhere that's hard to find

Stop wasting time trying to shape your life

It's alright, goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

[Chorus]

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

I won't cry, I won't cry, I won't cry

Lord knows how hard we tried

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

[Bridge]

My pretty bird, my favorite lullaby

How'd I become the thorn in your side?

All your laughter turned into a cry

It's alright, goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

[Chorus]

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

I won't cry, I won't cry, I won't cry

Lord knows how hard we tried

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
