Why can't I say Goodbye?

Sometimes I think you’ll go away

Or just stop calling me

Maybe you’ll send a note

Or return the letter I wrote

 

I can’t see why

I get to be the one to cry

Can’t I just walk away

Without a word or two to say

 

Why can’t I say goodbye

Without getting an answer from the sky

Just want to do it on my own

Sometimes it’s worth being alone

 

Seeing others dance at a ball

Me standing with my back against the wall

But it’s okay ‘cause I can dance

And it’s my chance to take a final stance

 

I may not know how to write or do math

And I just might never choose the right path

And though someone might not want me to say goodbye

Where were they before I said Hello to the sky

 

Why can’t I say goodbye

Do I still have a lesson to learn before I kiss the sky

Just want to feel free like a cloud

Then as I look down I will make somebody proud
