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
If I stay, you would never see
And I would never see
Better days

There's a war that's going on
Between my weary heart
And 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

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
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
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
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
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
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 get easy
No matter how hard you try

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
I would never see
Better days
