“Goodbye” is such a funny word,
An eternal farewell that will never reach you.
No trace of you remains in my hands,
Leaving me feeling strangely empty.

Sometimes, I see you in the mirror,
I see you in the way I do things.
I wanted to be like you in every way,
Because you were the one who taught me more than love.

The things I should have said,
The days I failed to understand—
Now you’ll hear them all from her,
And you must be smiling more than ever.
Don’t you know, my world is filled with the sky you showed me,
The songs we listened to all day long,
And the warm air you left behind?

Goodbye, to a night that felt so long.
Watching you quietly drift away,
I prayed in silence,
That your next love would be warmer than mine.

More seasons have passed than the time we shared,
And though I’ve come so far, it seems that’s not all.
You were the one who taught me everything.

The things I should have said,
The days I failed to understand—
Now you’ll hear them all from her,
And you must be smiling more than ever.
Don’t you know, my world is filled with the sky you showed me,
The songs we listened to all day long,
And the warm air you left behind.
