I count the ways I let you down
On my fingers and toes but I'm running out
Clever words can't help me now
I grip you tight but you're slipping out
And I remember your eyes were so bright
When I first I met you, so in love that night
And now I'm kissing your tears goodnight
And I can't take it, you're even perfect when you cry
Beautiful goodbye, bye bye, bye bye
It's dripping from your eyes (bye bye, bye bye),
Your beautiful goodbye (bye bye, bye bye)
It's dripping from your eyes (bye bye, bye bye), oh yeah
When did the rain become a storm
When did the clouds begin to form
Yeah we got knocked off course by a natural force
And well, we'll be swimming when it's gone
And I remember your eyes were so bright
When I first I met you, so in love that night
And now I'm kissing your tears goodnight
And I can't take it, you're even perfect when you cry
Beautiful goodbye, bye bye, bye bye
It's dripping from your eyes (bye bye, bye bye),
Your beautiful goodbye whoa (bye bye, bye bye)
It's dripping from your eyes (bye bye, bye bye), oh yeah
All the pain you try to hide
Shows through your mascara lines as they stream down from your eyes
And let 'em go, let 'em fly
Holding back won't turn back time
Believe me, I've tried
Your eyes were so bright
And I remember your eyes were so bright
I remember your eyes were so bright
When I first I met you, how in love were we that night
And now I'm kissing your tears goodnight
And I can't take it, you're even perfect when you cry
Beautiful goodbye (bye bye, bye bye), oh yeah
It's dripping from your eyes (bye bye, bye bye),
Your beautiful goodbye (bye bye, bye bye), whoa
It's dripping from your eyes (bye bye, bye bye), yeah yeah
Beau, oh yeah
On my fingers and toes but I'm running out
Clever words can't help me now
I grip you tight but you're slipping out
And I remember your eyes were so bright
When I first I met you, so in love that night
And now I'm kissing your tears goodnight
And I can't take it, you're even perfect when you cry
Beautiful goodbye, bye bye, bye bye
It's dripping from your eyes (bye bye, bye bye),
Your beautiful goodbye (bye bye, bye bye)
It's dripping from your eyes (bye bye, bye bye), oh yeah
When did the rain become a storm
When did the clouds begin to form
Yeah we got knocked off course by a natural force
And well, we'll be swimming when it's gone
And I remember your eyes were so bright
When I first I met you, so in love that night
And now I'm kissing your tears goodnight
And I can't take it, you're even perfect when you cry
Beautiful goodbye, bye bye, bye bye
It's dripping from your eyes (bye bye, bye bye),
Your beautiful goodbye whoa (bye bye, bye bye)
It's dripping from your eyes (bye bye, bye bye), oh yeah
All the pain you try to hide
Shows through your mascara lines as they stream down from your eyes
And let 'em go, let 'em fly
Holding back won't turn back time
Believe me, I've tried
Your eyes were so bright
And I remember your eyes were so bright
I remember your eyes were so bright
When I first I met you, how in love were we that night
And now I'm kissing your tears goodnight
And I can't take it, you're even perfect when you cry
Beautiful goodbye (bye bye, bye bye), oh yeah
It's dripping from your eyes (bye bye, bye bye),
Your beautiful goodbye (bye bye, bye bye), whoa
It's dripping from your eyes (bye bye, bye bye), yeah yeah
Beau, oh yeah

"I count the ways I let you down
On my fingers and toes but I'm running out
Clever words can't help me now
I grip you tight but you're slipping out"
i think this song was about a guy reminiscing the past, the happy moments he had with the girl. He's losing her because he has repeatedly done much pain to her, took her for granted and she just couldn't take it anymore. He's hurt her a lot so she's walking away. He just lets her go although he doesn't really want to, for he wants her to heal and prevent her from crying and being hurt again by him, this way he could make it up to her. Now he’s realizing how much he loves her
