How Can I Say Goodbye? Lyrics

And how can I say goodbye if you're not here by my side

And how can I say goodnight, if you're not here to pass the time

So I sit in solitude and talk to myself

I know I'm a mess, but I can't wreck nobody else

I've been through a few relationships but love is running out

I keep doing all these pills, to escape from myself

And if I'm being honest none of this really helps

If I keep doing this, it's a threat to my health

I keep trying to reduce it but I can't get away

Around ten pm these scenes play in my brain

All the vivid imagery of you dying in my arms

Your head on my lap, I held you like a child

I just want you to know it was worth my while

Somehow, I'm glad I was there when you passed away

And how can I say goodbye if you're not here by my side

And how can I say goodnight if you're not here to pass the time

You know it's really weird to wake up and not see a message from you

And if I had one wish, it would be to be back with you, with you

Lay in the grass and look at stars in the sky

But even more beautiful the stars in your eyes

The way you'd light up a room when you walked inside

So, tell me how I can say goodbye

And how can I say goodbye if you're not here by my side

And how can I say goodnight if you're not here to pass the time

And how can I say goodbye if you're not here by my side

And how can I say goodnight if you're not here to pass the time

So now only your sister knows my truth

The way I am, how I spent my youth

Indecisive now I can't choose

Should I bite my tongue or speak my mind

And how can I say goodbye if you're not here by my side

And how can I say goodnight if you're not here to pass the time
