[Verse 1]
If I told you every single time
You come to my mind, well, it'd be hard to find
The spaces in between the thoughts of you and me
Since I've been gone

[Verse 2]
My baby wonders why I had to go
Couldn't understand, oh, that I just don't know
But, Baby, you have to trust that you've been better off
Since I've been gone

[Chorus]
I'll give your own Goodbye Song
Don't stay away for too long
Praying to God that I'm wrong
Taking this road that I'm on
Until I'm back in your arms
'Til then, we'll settle on
This simple and sad Goodbye Song
'Til I get home

[Verse 3]
You never hurt me, ooh, never told me lies
Call me beautiful as you dry my eyes
But I have to set this free to see if it comes back to me
So I've been gone
[Chorus]
Ooh
I'll give your own Goodbye Song
Don't stay away for too long
Praying to God that I'm wrong
Taking this road that I'm on
Until I'm back in your arms
'Til then, we'll settle on
This simple and sad Goodbye Song
'Til I get home

[Bridge]
I stare at the telephone like it's you tonight
Oh, how can I know if what I'm doing is right
When my eyes do nothing but cry?

[Verse 4]
Thank you for the things I've learned
You taught me that "I love you" is said with no words
A man like you's hard to find
And "I miss you's" a state of mind
So I've been gone

[Chorus]
Ooh
I'll give your own Goodbye Song
Don't stay away for too long
Praying to God that I'm wrong
Taking this road that I'm on
I hope it brings me back to your arms
'Til then, we'll settle on
This simple and sad Goodbye Song
"I Miss You Like Mad" Goodbye Song
"Love What We Had" Goodbye Song
'Til I get home
Ooh
