Lyrics, Romanization & English Translation

Verse 1

Early morning

There's a message on my phone

It's my mother saying, "Darling, please come home"

I fear the worst

But how could you leave us all behind

There's so much to say but there's so little time

So how do I say goodbye

To someone who's been with me for my whole damn life

Chorus

You gave me my name and the colour of your eyes

I see your face when I look at mine

So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?

When I couldn't, you always saw the best in me

Right or wrong you were always on my side

But I'm scared of what life without you's like

And I saw the way she looked into your eyes

And I promise if you go, I will make sure she's alright

Verse 3

So how do I say goodbye

To someone who's been with me for my whole damn life

You gave me my name and the colour of your eyes

I see your face when I look at mine

So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?

And there's no way you could ever let me down

Gonna steal some time and start again

You'll always be my closest friend

Verse 4

And someday we are gonna make it out

Just hold the light, just hold the light

So how do I say goodbye

To someone who's been with me for my whole damn life

You gave me my name and the colour of your eyes

I see your face when I look at mine

So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?

So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?
