Lyrics

Just Say Goodbye

Sometimes when I'm fading
I fight to stay awake
Here I lie, come and take me
Have a go
I will go so far just to say goodbye

My mind and my opinion
I tried, I huff and I puff
Why am I in my skin again?
Well, I don't know how it works
So I just say goodbye

Sometimes I see sorry faces
I don't think I qualify
Be kind as another person

Oh, huh
We tried so hard
Huh
As if I have answers
Huh
We tried so hard
Just to say goodbye
