The Way I Say Goodbye (Stripped)

[Verse 1]
I won't make this about me
I want you to be happy
I won't beg you to stay, get in your way
And I'll probably wait to cry when you leave
I won't say that I hate you
In fact, that couldn't be more untrue
Won't pull a figurative knife and put up a fight
'Cause right now, I can tell that you don't want me to

[Pre-Chorus]
And I've tried a million times to show you
That all I ever wanted is to know you
To really know you

[Chorus]
If you couldn't feel my love
In the way I said "good morning"
If you couldn't feel my love
In the way I called you mine
Then I hope you feel my love
In the way I say goodbye

[Verse 2]
I'll try my best to leave you alone
But you were my future ten minutes ago
So I can't say that I'm not shattered
But does it really matter?
It's messed up that caring means letting you go

[Pre-Chorus]
And I've tried a million times to show you
That all I ever wanted is to know you
But do I know you?

[Chorus]
If you couldn't feel my love
In the way I said forever
If you couldn't feel my love
When I gave you my whole life
Then I hope you feel my love
In the way I say goodbye, goodbye

[Outro]
I loved you, really loved you
Whatever you're looking for, I hope you find
Have a safe drive home
And a beautiful life
