They say the larger they live
The harder they fall
So, when your knees hit that ground
This whole world must've paused
When you walked through that door
You made our problems yours
And if love feels like rain
Brother, you made it pour
And even though I know I'll see you on the other side
I wish I could've said (Goodbye) to all the late-night talkin'
The long bus rides and the downtown walkin'
(Goodbye) To all the truth you spittin'
The rock you were when my head was trippin'
(Goodbye) To all the dreams we chased
And the ones we caught by the Good Lord's grace
(Goodbye) I wish I could've said (Goodbye)
I wish I could've said goodbye (Ohh)
I wish I could've said goodbye (Ohh)
Well, I can still hear your laugh
And it still makes me smile
It's like time used to fly
Now, I feel every mile
Any room that you walk in
We just end up by you
And our lives will never be the same, it's true
Man, I wish I could've said (Goodbye) to all the late-night talkin'
The long bus rides and the downtown walkin'
(Goodbye) To all the truth you spittin'
The rock you were when my head was trippin'
(Goodbye) To all the dreams we chased
And the ones we caught by the Good Lord's grace
(Goodbye) I wish I could've said (Goodbye)
I wish I could've said goodbye (Ohh)
(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)
I wish I could've said goodbye (Ohh)
(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)
You said, "Save your words, don't say goodbye
Just say a prayer for me tonight
If this is the road, I'll walk it
Save your words, don't say goodbye
Just say a prayer for me tonight
If this is the sea, He'll part it
If He wants to part it"
(Goodbye) To all the late-night talkin'
The long bus rides and the downtown walkin'
(Goodbye) To all the truth you spittin'
The friend you were, I will always miss you
(Goodbye) To all the dreams we chased
And the ones we caught by the Good Lord's grace
(Goodbye) I wish I could've said (I wish I could've said)
I wish I could've said goodbye (Ohh)
(I wish I had the words to say; Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)
I wish I could've said goodbye (Ohh)
(I wish I had the words to say; Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)
So, I guess I need to say goodbye
