 I was sitting  on my doorstep,
I  hung up the phone  and it fell out  of my hand,
 But I knew  I had to do  it,
 And he  wouldn't understand,
So  hard to see  myself without him,
I  felt a piece  of my heart break,
But  when you're standing  at a crossroad,
 There's a  choice you gotta make.
 ]
 I guess it's gonna have to hurt,
 I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
 And let go of some things  I've loved,
 To get to the other side,
 I guess it's gonna break me down,
 Like falling when you try to fly,
 It's sad, but sometimes moving  on with the rest of your life,
 Starts with goodbye.
 I know there's  a blue horizon,
Somewhere up  ahead, just waiting  for me,
Getting there  means leaving things behind,
 Sometimes life's  so bitter sweet.

 I guess it's gonna have to hurt,
 I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
 And let go of some things  I've loved,
 To get to the other side,
 I guess it's gonna break me down,
 Like falling when you try to fly,
 It's sad, but sometimes moving  on with the rest of your life,
 Starts with goodbye.
 Time, time heals,
 The wounds that you feel,
Somehow,  right now.
