Verse 1:
If you're reading this then I'm long gone
Wish I'd had the strength to prove you wrong
But instead I broke your heart of glass
Some things I guess you can't get
Back when we started, before the storm came
I gave you "sometimes", you needed "always"
Thought we were fine, but you saw it first
Now I can give you the life you deserve
Chorus 1:
So goodbye, love
Hang onto the long night
There's beauty in the sunrise
And you will find that goodbye
Is the hardest thing that I could do
After all the pain I put you through
It's the best that I can give
The best that I can give to you
Verse 2:
It's so hard to see it come to this
When the truth is blinded by the wish
Instead of bending, I just watched you break
And now it's too late
Back when we started, before the storm came
I gave you "sometimes", you needed "always"
Thought we were fine, but you saw it first
Now I can give you the life you deserve
Chorus 2:
So goodbye, love
Hang onto the long night
There's beauty in the sunrise
And you will find that goodbye
Is the hardest thing that I could do
After all the pain I put you through
It's the best that I can give
The best that I can give to yoooooou
Bridge:
Oooooooooh
We'll always have this after the broken
All that was given is not forgotten
Verse 3: (Quiet)
So goodbye, love
Hang onto the long night
There's beauty in the sunrise
Chorus 3:
Goodbye is the hardest thing that I could do
After all the pain I put you through
It's the best that I can give
The best that I can give to you
Verse 4: (Loud, Powerful)
If you're reading this then I'm long gone
Wish I'd had the strength to prove you wrong
But instead I broke your heart of glass
Some things I guess you can't get back
