Starts With Goodbye

  • I was sitting on my doorstep
    I hung up the phone and it fell out of my hand
    But I knew I had to do it
    And he wouldn't understand

    So hard to see myself without him
    I felt a piece of my heart break
    But when you're standing at a crossroad
    There's a choice you gotta make

    I guess it's gonna have to hurt
    I guess I'm gonna have to cry
    And let go of some things I've loved
    To get to the other side

    I guess it's gonna break me down
    Like fallin' when I'm try to fly
    It's sad but sometimes
    Moving on with the rest of your life
    Starts with goodbye

    I know there's a blue horizon
    Somewhere up ahead, just waiting for me
    Getting there means leaving things behind
    Sometimes life's so bitter sweet

    I guess it's gonna have to hurt
    I guess I'm gonna have to cry
    And let go of some things I've loved
    To get to the other side

    I guess it's gonna break me down
    Like fallin' when I'm try to fly
    It's sad but sometimes
    Moving on with the rest of your life
    Starts with goodbye

    Time heals the wounds that you feel
    Somehow, right now

    I guess it's gonna have to hurt
    I guess I'm gonna have to cry
    And let go of some things I've loved
    To get to the other side

    I guess it's gonna break me down
    Like fallin' when I'm try to fly
    It's sad but sometimes
    Moving on with the rest of your life
    Starts with goodbye

    I guess I'm gonna have to cry
    And let go of some things I've loved
    To get to the other side

    Start with goodbye
    Like fallin' when you try to fly
    It's sad but sometimes
    Moving on with the rest of your life
    Starts with goodbye Writer/s: ANGELO T. PETRAGLIA, HILLARY LEE LINDSEY
