The Goodbye Song

New Found Glory · Nothing Gold Can Stay [1999]

Last year was one of our better years

In a life full of separation.

Well it's ok to second guess

Just as long as you remember she's gone



In the bright of day

It might seem like the stars are gone.

They never leave.

They come back when the sun moves on.



It's over now

You watched me as I turned around.

It's not why, but how

The light is on

I'll come home.



Now I feel it's been such a long time

Since her eyes have met with mine.

I feel it's been such a long time

I'm glad you've made up your mind.



It's hurting me from the inside

If I only had something to say.

Maybe if I prove that I'm right

Will it still be safe to stay?
