Lyrics

Starting to say goodbye
Though it's not time
Starting to say goodbye
without a sign

I'm not taking chances
planning in advance
Say goodbye


Starting to let go now
So I'll be first
Starting to let go now
it's best to think the worst

I'm just practicing
Rehearsing well-known scenes
Say goodbye


Starting to walk on now
So slowly you can't see
Starting to walk away
so quietly

When you do catch on
I might be long gone
Say goodbye


Lie here listening to the clock keep time
It's almost time
it could happen any time at all
You lie there sleeping
do you know anything
don't you know what's happening
Can't you read the writing on the wall

Starting to say goodbye
in my head
Starting to say goodbye
Though nothing has been said

It's too soon to tell
But I'm preparing well
to say goodbye...

But if you catch me in the act
Maybe you'd bring me back...

or say goodbye
