Goodbye Lyrics
It was really nice to meet you, goodbye
It's high time I quit wondering why
Cause I have lost all that I can
From my side
When you think of me again
Know I tried, I tried
Goodbye
Forgive me while I lay here
But I have nowhere else to be
I figure when I leave this time
It's for keeps
And when I say good morning next
I'll lie, I'll lie
This is goodbye
Then lonely lay the day
I can't remember you at all
And it's not easy to say that day
Has already come and gone
And all that remains is a place
Where you no longer are
One day I won't regret this
Oh how I want to believe that's true
Once I pick up my parts I broke on you
I'll get used to the idea
It's not you
Not you
Goodbye
It's high time I quit wondering why
Cause I have lost all that I can
From my side
When you think of me again
Know I tried, I tried
Goodbye
But I have nowhere else to be
I figure when I leave this time
It's for keeps
And when I say good morning next
I'll lie, I'll lie
This is goodbye
I can't remember you at all
And it's not easy to say that day
Has already come and gone
And all that remains is a place
Where you no longer are
Oh how I want to believe that's true
Once I pick up my parts I broke on you
I'll get used to the idea
It's not you
Not you
Goodbye

Beautiful optimistic song about moving on after the end of a relationship and getting through a broken heart. It really articulates the pain and resistance you feel in actually saying 'goodbye', and how hard it is to tell yourself its really over.
I believe the line is "I'll only lay the day," not "Then lonely lay the day"
Gorgeous.
