Bye

This is a sad song

Though it feels happy

It is not happy at all

In fact, it makes me so, so sad to sing this song

But I will sing it for you anyway

This song is called Goodbye Henry

And I wrote it 'bout a boy

A very lovely boy

And his name isn't even Henry

But I'm just tryna be respectful

We don't talk anymore

He could be next door, wouldn't even know

In another life we could have made it

But in this one, well, we let go

And I remember last time I've seen him

It was a devastating day

And we dried each other's tears

And I told him

Henry, oh, I wish you only love

And happiness

And I'm swallowing tears

As I'm watching you drive away

Through my window

I don't want you to go

How could I, baby? Oh-oh 

(I miss you so)

I do hope you'll try your best

Let's pretend, Henry

Maybe one day we could try again

Don't forget me

or regret me

I tell him: Goodbye, Henry

I told you this was a sad song

I did try to warn you, in case you relate

In case your sorry heart is also breaking

In case you're driving to work and every bloody left turn you take

Just so happens to be down memory lane

And it's that pain, the aching kind

I had high hopes for me and Henry, I really did

Oh, I wish you only love

And happiness

Hello, how are you? I hope you're well

It's nice to be on a microphone with a story to tell

I think of all the memories

Some bitter, some sweet

The people I've loved and the people I'll never get to greet

These heartaches don't get easier

Pains of losing love

Time will help the healing

And Christ's just up above

Sometimes in life we have to say goodbye

And I guess sometimes that's just how it goes

Sometimes love sticks around

And sometimes love hits the road
