I lie here, cheek against the hardwood floor
These torn-up flowers are all I've got
I cry here, even though I knew before
I think I knew you loved me not
I stare back, I stare back in disbelief
At the footprints in my wake
Today I smashed, smashed a mirror on my knee
Cause it lied and said I haven't changed
But the girl who used to live here in these bones
She knew who to let love her and who just to let go
And the girl who used to live here in these bones
She knew that you weren't good for her, but I just didn't know
How to..
Say goodbye, I will say goodbye
Like I mean it, like I mean it this time
I will say goodbye, I will say goodbye
Like I believe it, like I believe I finally got something right
The years slipped and with them went my best
All my pieces that were good
And how I wish I could blame you for this theft
But I gave you everything you took
The girl who used to live here in these bones
She cared enough to leave here when your alibis would start
And the girl who used to live here in these bones
She cared enough to look out for the back side of her heart
And..
Say goodbye, I will say goodbye
Like I mean it, like I mean it this time
I will say goodbye, I will say goodbye
Like I believe it, like I believe I finally got something right
Oh, yeah I've got something right
The girl who used to live here in these bones
It was so hard for her to love you, now it's hard for me to stop
And the girl who used to live here in these bones
It was so hard for her to love, but I'm ready now to stop
And say goodbye, I will say goodbye
Now I'm leaving and I believe I finally got something right
