If I told you
Every single time you came to my mind
Well, it'd be hard to find
The spaces in between the thoughts of you and me
Since I've been gone

Baby wonders why I had to go
Couldn't understand that I just don't know
Baby you have to trust
That you've been better off
Since I've been gone

I'll give you your own goodbye song
Don't stay away for too long
Praying to God that I'm wrong
Taking this road that I'm on
Until I'm back in your arms
Till then we'll settle on
A simple and sad goodbye song till I get home

Never hurt me
Never told me lies
Called me beautiful
As you dried my eyes
But I have to set this free
To see if it comes back to me
So I've been gone

I'll give you your own goodbye song
Don't stay away for too long
Praying to God that I'm wrong
Taking this road that I'm on
Until I'm back in your arms
Till then we'll settle on
A simple and sad goodbye song till I get home

Stare at the telephone like it's you tonight
How can I know if what I'm doing is right
When my eyes do nothing but cry

I'll thank you for the things I've learned
Taught me that I love you is said with no words
A man like you is hard to find
And I miss you is a state of mind
So I've been gone

I'll give you your own goodbye song
Don't stay away for too long
Praying to God that I'm wrong
Taking this road that I'm on
Hope it brings me back to your arms
Till then we'll settle on
A simple and sad goodbye song
Till I get home
