All I ever knew was love, love, love, love
It never quite looks the way you thought it would
Sometimes love looks like holding on tight
Other times love is letting go
This time love is letting go
So I'll say
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Is all that I could say on my way
Someday, someday, someday
You will understand why I had to go
If I leave, it would be the best thing for you
And if I stay, you would never see, and I would never see better days
Better days, yeah
Better days, hmm
♪
There's a war that's going on (there's a war that's going on)
Between my weary heart and my hardened head
The grace is lifted, and the cloud keeps moving
I guess I better keep moving on
I wish I was better at moving on
So I'll say
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Is all that I could say on my way
Someday, someday, someday you will understand why I had to go
If I leave, it would be the best thing for you
If I stay, you would never see, and I would never see better days
Better days
No-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no
You will never see, you will never see better days
♪
Some say, "See ya later"
But goodbye's more appropriate
I wish that you knew that
You're not the only one hurting in this situation, eh
I wish that you could own that
You took it personal when I told you that things were changing
Then things took a fall
It's like being mad at the trees when they drop leaves
It's a Pennsylvania fall
But at the root of it all, you can't control people
Seasons change without you
And they don't ever really need your permission
God's been good a long time
'Cause at the root of it all, you can't control people
Seasons change without you, eh
And they don't ever really need your permission
God's been good a long time
God's been good a long time
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye is all that I could say on my way
Someday, someday, someday you will understand why I had to go
If I leave, it would be the best thing for you
If I stay, you would never see, and I would never see
I wish I was better at saying goodbye
It never gets easy no matter how hard I try
I wish you were better at saying goodbye
It never gets easy no matter how hard you try
So goodbye, goodbye, goodbye is all that I could say on my way
Someday, someday, someday you will understand why I had to go
If I leave, it would be the best thing for you
If I stay, you would never see, and I would never see better days
