I Heard Goodbye Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I could tell by the way you kissed my lips that day
There was something missing, something not the same
You were there, but you weren't, didn't care, didn't hurt at all
Said it was what it was, then the feeling of us was gone

[Chorus]
I watched you fade away
But I turned my head and closed my eyes
And prayed you’d stay
And I told myself that it’d be fine
I wish I could have just said something, oh
When you said you needed time
I heard goodbye
Goodbye

[Verse 2]
It was way too easy to say those words you said
And the look on your face, I could tell there was nothing left
Almost wished we were fighting, screaming, and crying, but
Not a drop of a tear, didn't know how to feel, I was numb

[Chorus]
I watched you fade away
But I turned my head and closed my eyes
And prayed you’d stay
And I told myself that it’d be fine
I wish I could have just said something, oh
When you said you needed time
I heard goodbye
Goodbye
[Bridge]
I could try to hold on if I thought I could change your mind
But I don’t think I can when I feel like I feel tonight

[Chorus]
I watched you fade away
But I turned my head and closed my eyes
And prayed you’d stay
And I told myself that it’d be fine
I wish I could have just said something, oh
When you said you needed time
When you said you needed time
I heard goodbye
Goodbye

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
