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 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 were 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 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 we are 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 So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye? So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?
