Lyrics

Bye Bye Baby

[Verse 1]

Hold me tonight

Don't let me go

Something so warm

Suddenly cold

We knew our rights

Right from the start

She's holding me heavy

She's holding me tight

[Chorus]

Bye bye baby

Bye bye baby

Please come back

'Cause I'm not ready

To hold my breath

I can't do that

[Verse 2]

Down to a place

A place that you love

Always hungover

But never enough

Food is for card

Cards out for fools

You're rolling a dice

Six ways to lose

[Chorus]

Bye bye baby

Bye bye baby

Please come back

'Cause I'm not ready

To hold my breath

I can't do that

[Bridge]

Bye bye baby

Bye bye baby

Please come back

[Chorus]

Bye bye bye bye baby

Bye bye baby

Please come back

'Cause I'm not ready

To hold my breath

I can't do that

[Outro]

So please come back

So please come back

So please come back

So please come back
