On the shore and I'm waving goodbye
To a ship that has sailed
Maybe it's only far to my eyes
It's getting harder to tell
I could make a flotation device
It wouldn't carry me well
But well enough just to get to your side
So I can know how it felt

I only wanted you to be
What you've always been to me
Never saw it differently

I can handle
All the pains of a broken heart
I can manage
All the days that we'll spend a part
If I know
When you go
You will be happier alone

I'm unsure if your saying goodbye
By saying nothing at all
Or maybe it's just a matter of time
Before you give me a call
I've been makin it up in my mind
I'm sure I'm guessin it wrong
The only way that I'll know if I'm right
Is when you're willing to talk

I only wanted you to be
What you've always been to me
Never saw it differently
I can handle
All the pains of a broken heart
I can manage
All the days that we'll spend a part
If I know
When you go
You will be happier alone

When you go
Then I'll know
You will be happier
