Learn to Say Goodbye - City Lights

It comes so suddenly

Like high tide drowning me

One minute I feel fine

The next numb

Pretend everything’s fine

When really half the time

I’m staying awake until dawn

It feels like the weight

Of the world on my chest

But I think that it’s time to let go

One of these days

I’ll learn to say goodbye

To all of this tension

Eating me away inside

Cause I’m strong enough

And I’ve had enough

Of this worried state of mind

One of these days I’ll say goodbye

It won’t pull me under this time

Stuck in a crowded room

I hope we’re leaving soon

Sometimes I’d rather just be alone

What could I have to say

I probably shouldn’t talk anyway

I’m better off staying at home

But I won’t be controlled

By what’s inside my head

My fears won’t define who I am

I can’t help but feeling

Like I said something wrong

Regret weighs me down like a stone

Have to remind myself

Leave anguish on the shelf

It’s ok not to be okay

Despite what they say
