Kissing You Goodbye Lyrics

Young love waits at the window
And I said go home
'Cause he don't know it's not his problem
And he don't know I'm not alone

Clock strikes 3 in the morning
And I lie sleepless
'Cause he don't know I broke my promise
And he don't know I've done this

In the early light
I found you with a bottle by the side
I can see by your eyes you know that I
I'm kissing you goodbye
I'm kissing you goodbye

What now? That is the question
But it's not up to you
So I think I will leave you guessing
After all you put me through

In the early light
I found you with a bottle by the side
I can see by your eyes you know that I
I'm kissing you goodbye
I'm kissing you goodbye
I'm kissing you goodbye
[x2]

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I only just really paid attention to the lyrics of this song, and it really sounds like a woman who's just cheated. Afterwards she goes home to find him waiting up for her, and he knows it's over.
