How Do I Say Goodbye Lyrics By Dean Lewis

This is for anyone who’s had to say goodbye to someone they love.

A few years ago, my dad was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. The doctors gave him a 25% chance of living past a year. He had always been my best friend and the person I looked up to the most, so I wrote him this song.

[Verse 1]
Early mornin’
There’s a message on my phone
It’s my mother saying “Darlin’, please come home”
I fear the worst
But how could you leave us all behind?
There’s so much to say, but there’s so little time

[Chorus]
So how do I say goodbye
To someone who’s been with me for my whole damn life?
You gave me my name and the colour of your eyes
I see your face when I look at mine
So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?

[Verse 2]
When I couldn’t
You always saw the best in me
Right or wrong, you were always on my side
But I’m scared
Of what life without you’s like
And I saw the way she looked into your eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
And I promise, if you go
I will make sure she’s alright

[Chorus]
So how do I say goodbye
To someone who’s been with me for my whole damn life?
You gave me my name and the colour of your eyes
I see your face when I look at mine
So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?

[Bridge]
And there’s no way you could ever let me down
Gonna steal some time and start again
You’ll always be my closest friend
And someday we are gonna make it out
Just hold the light, just hold the light

[Chorus]
So how do I say goodbye
To someone who’s been with me for my whole damn life?
You gave me my name and the colour of your eyes
I see your face when I look at mine
So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?
So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?
