Fed up with my destiny
And this place of no return 
Think I'll take another day 
And slowly watch it burn 
It doesn't really matter how the time goes by
Cause I still remember you and I 
And that beautiful goodbye 

We staggered through these empty streets 
Laughing arm in arm 
The night had made a mess of me 
Your confession kept me warm 
And I don't really miss you, I just need to know 
Do you ever think of you and I 
And that beautiful goodbye 

When I see you now 
I wonder how 
I could've watched you walk away 
If I let you down 
Please forgive me now 
For that beautiful goodbye 

In these days of no regrets 
I keep mine to myself 
And all the things we never said 
I can say for someone else
Cause nothing lasts forever, but we always try 
And I just can't help but wonder why 
We let it pass us by 

When I see you now 
I wonder how 
I could've watched you walk away 
If I let you down 
Please forgive me now 
For that beautiful goodbye
