You, you taught me how to live
And we were gone off to the races
You, you took what I could give
You showed me I was strong in broken places
And when you let me go, you made sure I wouldn't look back
Gave me every reason to leave behind the past
Thank you for teaching me
To say goodbye
To read between the lines, leave my innocence behind
To say hello I know sometimes
You have to learn to say goodbye
Time, lessons learned in time
Each one a picture seared into my memory
And life, what it means to be alive
Is learning how to live within the mystery
And when you let me go, I kept holding on
I didn't understand 'til I was out here on my own
Thank you for teaching me
To say goodbye
To read between the lines, leave my innocence behind
To say hello I know sometimes
You have to learn to say goodbye
When I see you again
It'll be different then
I hope we smile and remember when, for a little while
Thank you for teaching me
To say goodbye
To read between the lines, leave my innocence behind
To say hello I know sometimes
To say hello I know sometimes
You have to learn to say
Thank you, goodbye
