Everything Except Goodbye

[Verse 1]
I can’t look in the mirror
‘Cause I see you
I’ve got your smile
Our eyes, the same shade of blue
Now you’re in heaven
Talking to God
And I’m another angel’s son
But where do I confide
Without you as my guide?

[Chorus 1]
You taught me how to drive my car
And how to change the tires
When I’d break the rules
You taught me wrong from right
You taught me how to love
And how to be kind
Now that you’re gone
I realize
You taught me everything except how to say goodbye

[Verse 2]
I flip through our pictures
For some kind of sign
Any little thing
To know it’s gonna be alright
Maybe you’ll see me
Maybe you’ll ask
To send some sunshine down
Let me feel your warmth again
I could really use it now

[Chorus 2]
You taught me how to play guitar
And how to start a fire
You broke your back at work
To teach me how to provide
You taught me how to pray
And that it’s alright to cry
Now that you’re gone
I realize
You taught me everything except how to say goodbye

[Bridge]
You always did the best you could
And, Dad, that was pretty damn good

[Chorus 3]
Now that you’re gone I realize
That you taught me everything except how to say goodbye
I don’t wanna know how to say goodbye
