[Intro]
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
How could we know
That there wouldn't be tomorrow?
No birds will sing
But the bells will ring for you
So far to go
But you've already reached the light
Your new beginning
Chapters are written out for you
[Pre-Chorus]
Down here they're hurting
From a broken heart
Trying to figure out
How this is real
[Chorus]
'Cause they're never coming back down
They belong to the stars in the clouds
Goodbyes, good times
L-O-V-E was all for you
If you didn't say your goodbyes
Don't worry, love will power through
'Cause they're never coming back down
They belong to the stars in the clouds
[Verse 2]
How do we grow
If you're not moving with us?
Constantly dark
Time will move in our favor
They'll never know
But they just keep on asking when
[Pre-Chorus]
We're down here hurting
From our broken heart
Trying to figure out
How this is real
[Chorus]
'Cause you're never coming back down
You belong to the stars in the clouds
Goodbyes, good times
L-O-V-E was all for you
If you didn't say your goodbyes
Don't worry, love will power through
[Bridge]
I'm sorry that I never replied
How was I to know this would be our last goodbye
We can't look at the world with tears in our eyes
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
[Chorus]
Just think of the good times you've left behind
L-O-V-E was all for you, no
If you didn't say your goodbyes
Don't worry, love will power through, no, no
'Cause you're never coming back down
You belong to the stars in the clouds

I wrote “Goodbyes” when I was 16, because I think the day before, me and my friend lost a friend. I wrote this song for her because she was really upset, because she never messaged him back. I was trying to be like, “Look, you can’t always say goodbye to someone. You can’t look at the world like pe...
I wrote it with a guy called Ed Thomas. It was one of my first sessions I did when I used to come up to London from Warsaw in the school holidays, and I told him this story, and he was like, “Oh, my gosh. Do you want to write?” And I was like, “Yeah.” When we were writing this, I think we were think...
