Learning how to say goodbye

Verse 1

I carved your name into the drywall

Left the phone off the hook again

Every mirror shows a stranger

Someone I don't recognize

Pre-Chorus

And I know I said I'd call you

And I know I never did

I keep folding up the paper

Where I wrote what I should've said

Chorus

I'm still standing in the wreckage

Still reaching for the light

I'm still standing in the wreckage

Learning how to say goodbye

(Say goodbye)

Learning how to say goodbye

Verse 2

My brother says I'm getting better

My mother says I look too thin

The doctor gives me pills for sleeping

I take them just to feel the quiet

Pre-Chorus

And I know I owe you something

Something bigger than a song

I keep circling the same road

Wondering where it all went wrong

Chorus

I'm still standing in the wreckage

Still reaching for the light

I'm still standing in the wreckage

Learning how to say goodbye

(Say goodbye)

Learning how to say goodbye

Bridge

Maybe someday I'll stop running

Maybe someday I'll come home

Maybe someday I'll forgive myself

For the man I was before

Chorus

I'm still standing in the wreckage

Still reaching for the light

I'm still standing in the wreckage

Learning how to say goodbye

(Say goodbye)

Learning how to say goodbye
