Lyrics
With every goodbye (you learn)
Music and lyrics by Hillary Chapman
Copyright, 2011
The whole time I was holdin' you too tight / but I didn't know
I was / losin' myself in lovin' you 'cause I / couldn't be alone
Now you're gone and I'm tryin' hard to believe
That life can go on without you here with me
With every goodbye you learn/how to hold on, how to let go,
Say yes and say no/Live your life on your own terms
With every goodbye you learn
Can't / say I'm doin' ok, I'm not 'cause I / still want you bad
So I'm / lettin' you go for good but I'm holdin' on/ to who I am
And this hurtin' will heal and then fade away
And the world will keep turnin' and soon it's a brand new day
Gonna try to make / the best of today
So when the time comes/ I'll be ready to say / hello
