How Do I Say Goodbye – Dean Lewis


Early morning   there’s a message on my phone              

It’s my mother saying, „Darling, please come home“

I fear the worst,     but how could you leave us all behind?                        

There’s so much to say but there’s so little time


So how do I say goodbye to someone how’s been with for my

whole damn life?    You gave me my name and the

color of your eye  I see your face when I look at mine

So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?


When I couldn’t, you always saw the best in me

Right or wrong, you were always on my side

But I’m scared     of what life without you’s like    

And I saw the way she looked into your eyes        

And I promise if you go, I will make sure she’s alright


So how do I say goodbye To someone who’s been with me for my

whole damn life?    You gave me my name and the

color of your eye  I see your face when I look at mine

So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?


And there’s no way you could ever let me down   Gonna steal some time and start again

You’ll always be my closest friend And someday we are gonna make it out    Just hold the light,  just hold the light


So how do I say goodbye To someone who’s been with me for my

whole damn life?    You gave me my name and the

color of your eye  I see your face when I look at mine

So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?
