[Verse 1] To the ones I loved before, I can say your names and let them pass. We were true for what we were, Not a promise built to last. [Pre-Chorus] Somewhere in the years between, I learned what leaving means. [Chorus] Goodbye to the loves behind me, Goodbye to the ones I’ll never know. You were real, though you weren’t mine to keep; I can bless you as I go. Goodbye, goodbye— I release what time won’t let me hold. [Verse 2] There are faces I won’t meet, Little lives that won’t become our own. I won’t turn them into grief; They can stay unknown, unknown. [Pre-Chorus] Every almost has its end, Even when it feels like then. [Chorus] Goodbye to the loves behind me, Goodbye to the ones I’ll never know. You were real, though you weren’t mine to keep; I can bless you as I go. Goodbye, goodbye— I release what time won’t let me hold. [Bridge] For the tender, unfinished years, For the names that never came, I won’t ask the past for answers; I can leave it without blame. [Final Chorus] Goodbye to the loves behind me, Goodbye to the ones I’ll never know. You were real, though you weren’t mine to keep; I can bless you as I go. Goodbye, goodbye— I release what time won’t let me hold. [Outro] Goodbye, goodbye.
