It's been a string of goodbyes, a lifetime of leaving
(You're gonna make me lonesome when you go)
We're not quite out of time, but I can't help the feeling
(You're gonna make me lonesome when you go)

It dawned on me this morning; you may not be mine forever
As I watched you running toward me with that smile on your face
It's never been so easy to throw my heart at something
But it's never been so hard to let go, here I go

She's got my heart inside the palm of her hands
And I've never felt so vulnerable, I just can't let it show
I hope you find just what you wanted out there
'Cause it's never been so hard to let go

But don't wait for me, you'd better just go on without me

Bye-bye love
These are not tears in my eyes, they're just memories you gave to me
But I'll be fine
I guess I'm no good at goodbyes and this bittersweet conclusion
That you'll be okay with or without me, babe

I always knew you'd take that smile to a million different places
But I thought I'd be beside you every step along the way
And I knew you'd make them love you, and I knew your dreams would come true
But I never meant to give you away
Don't you wait for me, you'd better just run along without me

Singing bye-bye love
These are not tears in my eyes, they're just memories you gave to me
But I'll be fine
I guess I'm no good at goodbyes and this bittersweet conclusion

I know you'll be okay, I'm watching you walk away
I'll think of you every day, singing bye-bye love
You'll be okay, I'm watching you walk away
I'll think of you every day, singing bye-bye

You taught this heart to know true love
So you can keep it once you're done
Whether I'm down here or up above
You'll always be my long lost love
Bye-bye, love

Singing bye-bye love
These are not tears in my eyes, they're just memories you gave to me
But I'll be fine
I guess I'm no good at goodbyes and this bittersweet conclusion

Singing bye-bye love
(I know you'll be okay, I'm watching you walk away)
These are not tears in my eyes, they're just memories you gave to me
(I'll think of you every day, bye-bye love)
I'll be fine
(I know you'll be okay, I'm watching you walk away)
I guess I'm no good at goodbyes and this bittersweet conclusion
(I'll think of you every day, bye-bye love)
It's a string of goodbyes, a lifetime of leaving
