I risk my hand [bad word] your lips, 
Feel your breath by my fingertips, 
No longer can I delay what is right 
But this love it won't give up without a fight. 

I'd rather note and tear it up, 
There are no words that can say no 
No I'm gonna hurt you
and I'll walk out that door,
But I swear it's gonna hurt me even more

You taught me how to laugh, 
You taught me how to cry, 
When I gave up
you even taught me how to try. 
There's one more thing to learn
before I spread my wings and fly - 
You gonna have to teach me how to say
Goodbye, goodbye 

Wish I could see the dreams tonight 
Wish I could name and turn them right
Tempted to turn back just one last kiss 
But my heart tells me it's bad as just like this 

So this is how the story ends.. 
The love is gone we can't pretend. 
No matter who else I gave my heart to,
There's a part of it that still belongs to you. 

You taught me how to laugh, 
You taught me how to cry, 
When I gave up you even
taught me how to try. 
There's one more thing to learn
before I spread my wings and fly - 
You gonna have to teach me how to say
Goodbye, goodbye 

You made me strong when I was weak, 
Gave my heart a voice to speak. 
You must've known this day [bad word]  
But the lessons are all gone 
All except for one, no 

You gonna have to teach me how to say
Goodbye, goodbye
