Goodbye to You Lyrics

I wake up feeling like I've aged a year
'Cause I go to sleep in fear of the dawn
Head full of dreams unclear
Make the days seem twice as long

I don't know how to say goodbye to you
I don't know how to say goodbye to you
Maybe tomorrow I can start anew
I just don't know how to say goodbye to you

Passed by where we used to go
Where I now go alone
Everything we had to brave
I'm left here to face on my own

I don't know how to say goodbye to you
I just don't know how to say goodbye to you
After all we've been through
I don't know how to say goodbye to you

Shattered and chained to our past
Battered and too proud to ask
Walked a razor's edge poisoned by degrees
Create each other's voids fill each other's needs

I don't know how to say goodbye to you
I just don't know how to say goodbye to you
My options are plenty
But my choices are few
I don't know how to say goodbye to you

I don't know how to say goodbye to you
I just don't know how to say goodbye to you
Hmm hmm hmm ...

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.
