Say Goodbye
From Bubblegum To Sky Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I suppose you saw how you purposely
Lean as he kisses on the surface
All I see you to say don′t turn around

You know I love it when you say you don't need me
You know I dig it when you say you won′t see me
All of this so I can hear you say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye





Holes in your eyes, holes in your signs, holes in your lines
Holes in your eyes, holes in your signs, holes in your lines
