If you have to say goodbye
Be careful not to lose control
It's better not to cry
Or to look me in the eye
When you leave and you let it go
And if you need to know the way
Be careful not to play around
Don't ask me or I'll say
That I'm going my own way
I'm going up instead of underground
I looked around
To find a key
I said I knew that it wouldn't be easy
To make you see
I fell asleep
And I awoke
And like a joke
You were next to me sleeping
But then it broke
Words aren't easy
But neither am I
I don't want to be the one that learns to fly
If you have to say goodbye
Be careful not to lose control
It's better not to cry
Or to look me in the eye
When you leave and you let it go
And if you need to know the way
Be careful not to play around
Don't ask me or I'll say
That I'm going my own way
I'm going up instead of underground
I hit the ground
And it shook the sky
All I knew is that I didn't know why
I even tried
I should have died
Then I heard the news
I thought I was the one that would lose
But here's where I begin
Words aren't easy
But neither am I
I don't want to be the one that's left to die
If you have to say goodbye
Be careful not to lose control
It's better not to cry
Or to look me in the eye
When you leave and you let it go
And if you need to know the way
Be careful not to play around
Don't ask me or I'll say
That I'm going my own way
I'm going up instead of underground
