“Goodbye” marks the first release for Echosmith as a trio, following the departure of lead guitarist and oldest sibling Jamie, who left the band to take care of his child. At the time, the song was their first new material in over three years.

[Verse 1]
Try not to let the burn become a scar
What's left of me is only broken parts
You take the pretty and color it dark
My only grievance is a broken heart
[Chorus]

When you finally find yourself
Tell him I said, tell him I said
"Goodbye"
"Goodbye"
"Goodbye"
"Goodbye"
"Goodbye"
