“Goodbye For Now”

VERSE ONE
We both know, we weren’t built to last
We were running hot, but we burned out fast
We were both on empty, when I watched you hit the gas
I don’t know where you were going. I never thought to ask

CHORUS
Well I might say hello, if I see you down the road
in some other town, but goodbye for now

VERSE TWO
A year ago, I was a mess
You were lonely, and we were both depressed
When I first kissed you, you made just one request
You told me not to fall in love, I said I’d do my best

CHORUS
Well I might say hello, if I see you down the road
in some other town, but goodbye for now

BRIDGE
This plan that we acquired, you know it might backfire
Our hearts they might grow fonder
There might come a day, when we can’t stay away
I might be setting you around… but goodbye for now

VERSE THREE
A day ago, I got your text
You were so happy, with someone you met
My heart was breaking, I was hemorrhaging regret
You told me not to fall in love, I said I’d do my best

CHORUS
Well I thought I’d say hello, I’ve been holding out some hope
But now it’s understood… it’s goodbye for good
