Thank You / Goodbye

You, you taught me how to live And we were gone off to the races You, you took what I could give You showed me I was strong in broken places And when you let me go, you made sure I wouldn't look back Gave me every reason to leave behind the past Thank you for teaching me To say goodbye To read between the lines, leave my innocence behind To say hello I know sometimes You have to learn to say goodbye Time, lessons learned in time Each one a picture seared into my memory And life, what it means to be alive Is learning how to live within the mystery And when you let me go, I kept holding on I didn't understand 'til I was out here on my own Thank you for teaching me To say goodbye To read between the lines, leave my innocence behind To say hello I know sometimes You have to learn to say goodbye When I see you again It'll be different then I hope we smile and remember when, for a little while Thank you for teaching me To say goodbye To read between the lines, leave my innocence behind To say hello I know sometimes To say hello I know sometimes You have to learn to say Thank you, goodbye
