lyrics

Goodbye to the old ways
The old ways are gone
I’m waiting for daybreak
And the morning light to come

I can still feel your arms wrapped around me
But I’m scared ‘cause I’m not sure you know
That what happens this fast is not destined to last
Now I’m leaving, I’m ready to go

You don’t need me, I’ll just disappoint you
Yeah I’m sure you’ll be fine on your own
Even better in fact, I am quite sure of that
‘Cause I’m leaving but I’m not going home

Wasn’t it nice to know the truth?
Wasn’t it nice to know how well I treated you?
When you wanted to wave

Goodbye to the old ways
The old ways are gone
I’m waiting for daybreak
And the morning light to come

Everyone in the front row is singing
With their hands held over their hearts
And that sweet melody wraps itself around me
And it’s nice but we know it’s not ours

And I’m trying to be a good person
But I don’t think that trying’s enough
When I’m drunk by myself, and I miss you like hell
Well I guess that without you I’m stuck

Wasn’t it nice to know the truth?
Wasn’t it nice to know how well I treated you?
When you wanted to wave

Goodbye to the old ways
The old ways are gone
I’m waiting for daybreak
And the morning light to come

Damn did it hurt to know the truth
If I could take back what I know of
Those things that she did to you
Yeah you know I would wave

Goodbye to the old ways
The old ways are gone
I’m waiting for daybreak
And the morning light to come

Hello sunshine
Where have you been for so long?
I miss you sometimes
I don’t know where you go when you’re gone
