[Verse 1]
You go your way
And I'll go mine
And I'll reassure you
I'll say I'm gonna be fine
I've had a lifetime full of hiding my feelings
That's nothing new

[Chorus]
And that is why
You won't see me cry
When I say goodbye to you

[Verse 2]
You're just starting
On your first steps home
You've been looking forward to
The day that you leave home
And though you'll make it on your own
Like we all had to do

[Chorus]
And that is why
You won't see me cry
When I say goodbye to you

[Verse 3]
I hope you make it out there
In this little world
I hope he knows that you're
A very special girl
Hope you find happiness out there
And surround yourself with peoplе
That care
Y'know
That I do
There will bе times when
You'll wish you were here
The day will slowly
But surely, disappear
When your new friends tell you it's better
To be free
You have your independence now

[Chorus]
And that is why
You won't see me cry
When I say goodbye to you
You won't see me cry
I promise you that

[Verse 4]
I'll say "Good luck, I love you"
And help you to a [?]
And I'll do all my crying
On the long drive back
That is true

[Chorus]
But you won't see me cry
When I say goodbye to you
