goodbye
one more day, then i'm gone
one more night and i'll be alone
growing up, facing life
saying "goodbye" to my home
it's the end of the line
now i know it's finally time
it's so real, now i feel
so lost, not ready for this change in my life

mommy why can't you hold me
daddy it's like you told me
it's hard, though
i love you
goodbye
so why can't i let go of your arm
why can't i keep from crying
every little boy grows up
help me leave, god i'm trying

tell me that it'll be fine
that it's the hardest thing i'll do
every burden has its weak point
i know that i'll pull through
i'm so scared, like a child
i'm so lost behind these tears
why did time go so fast?
what happened to the years?

mommy why can't you hold me
daddy it's like you told me
it's hard though
i'l lmiss you
goodbye
so why can't i let go of your arm
why can't i keep from crying
every little boy grows up
help me leave, god i'm trying

life just seems so hard
what if it doesn't treat me right
what if i'm lost within this
great big world and all these lights
what if mom or dad are sick
what if something goes wrong
why can't i be at home
in the comfort of your arms
