[Verse 1]
She's calling my name in my dreams
And I'm starting to lose sleep
Something just feels so wrong
I feel it deep in my bones
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
If you can't be right next to me
You hold my hand, your voice so low
I wish there was another road
[Pre-Chorus]
It kills me that maybe I'll never see you grow
I try to be strong, darling, but
[Chorus]
Oh, I hate to leave you but I have to go
I'll fight to stay alive when far from home
But I'll be gone for more than just an hour
Goodbye, my little flower
[Verse 2]
I don't have a plan
Don't know how this is gonna end
My body is in pain when you're crying
Oh, I'm feeling so lost
[Pre-Chorus]
It kills me that maybe I'll never see you grow
I try to be strong, darling, but
[Chorus]
Oh, I hate to leave you but I have to go
I'll fight to stay alive when far from home
But I'll be gone for more than just an hour
Goodbye, my little flower
Goodbye, my little flower
Goodbye, my little flower
Yeah, I'll be gone for more than just an hour
Goodbye
[Bridge]
Promise me you'll take care of yourself
I'll promise you I'll do my best
If things go wrong, promise me you'll move on
Please don't wait for me to knock on the door
[Chorus]
I hate to leave you but I have to go
I'll fight to stay alive when far from home
But I'll be gone for more than just an hour
Goodbye, my little flower
Goodbye, my little flower
Goodbye, my little flower
Yeah, I'll be gone for more than just an hour
Goodbye, my little flower
