[Verse 1]
All the things that we have lost
Breaking up comes at a cost
I know I'll miss this mistake
Every word I try to choose
Either way I’m gonna lose
Can’t take the ache from heartbreak
[Pre-Chorus]
But as you walk away
You don’t hear me say
[Chorus]
Where’s the "good" in "goodbye"?
Where’s the "nice" in "nice try"?
Where’s the "us" in "trust" gone?
Where’s the "soul" in "soldier on"?
Now I’m the "low" in "lonely"
‘Cause I don’t own you only
I can take this mistake but
I can’t take the "ache" from "heart break"
No, I can’t take the "ache" from "heart break"
[Verse 2]
No matter how it falls apart
There’s an “art” in "breaking hearts"
But there’s no “fair” in "farewell"
And when I see you in the street
I pray to God you don’t see
The silent "hell" in "I wish you well"
[Pre-Chorus]
But as you walk away
You don’t hear me say
[Chorus]
Where’s the "good" in "goodbye"?
Where’s the "nice" in "nice try"?
Where’s the "us" in "trust" gone?
Where’s the "soul" in "soldier on"?
Now I’m the "low" in "lonely"
‘Cause I don’t own you only
I can take this mistake but
I can’t take the "ache" from "heart break"
I can’t take the "ache" from "heart break"
I can’t take the "ache" from "heart break"
I can’t take the "ache" from "heart break"
(I can’t take the "ache" from "heart break")
[Bridge]
If I could turn back time
Then I would rewrite those lines
If I could turn back time
Then I would rewrite those lines
If I could turn back time
I would rewrite those lines
If I could turn back time
I would rewrite those lines, lines, lines
[Chorus]
Where’s the "good" in "goodbye"?
Where’s the "nice" in "nice try"?
Where’s the "us" in "trust" gone?
Where’s the "soul" in "soldier on"?
Now I’m the "low" in "lonely"
‘Cause I don’t own you only
I can take this mistake but
I can’t take the "ache" from "heart break"
(No, I can’t take the "ache" from "heart break")
I can’t take the "ache" from "heart break"
I can’t take the "ache" from "heart break"
(I can’t take the "ache" from "heart break")
[Outro]
If I could turn back time
Then I would rewrite those lines

I guess it just kinda came about when i was sitting in the studio, and playing on the piano, and then I came up with the melody first (hums melody). So I came up with the melody first and then the words came...
