If I stay with you
I would live a lie,
For you deserve a love
This heart cannot provide
So I wish you well,
And be on my way

I'm not the one who could
Give you what you need,
So I bid you farewell,
But don't you dare watch me leave

I didn't mean to
Hurt you this way,
But I'm not what you need,
So I guess I'll just be on my way

One day you'll wake up,
And thank me for what I did
When you're living your happy life
Behind your white fence,
New husband, and kids

Like a captured bird
Who yearns to sail the sky,
I will unlock your cage now,
So prepare to fly
And I'll kiss the air,
And hope it finds you well
Goodbye

I'm not the one who could
Give you what you need,
So I bid you farewell,
But don't you dare watch me leave

I didn't mean to
Hurt you this way,
But I'm not what you need,
So I guess I'll just be on my way

One day you'll wake up,
And thank me for what I did
When you're living your happy life
Behind your white fence,
New husband, and kids

I didn't mean to
Hurt you this way,
But I'm not what you need,
So I guess I'll just be on my way

One day you'll wake up,
And thank me for what I did
When you're living your happy life
Behind your white fence,
New husband, and kids

So I'll kiss the air,
And hope it finds you well
Goodbye
