Song lyrics
I was sitting on my doorstep,
I hung up the phone and it fell out of my hand,
But I knew I had to do it,
And he wouldn't understand,
So hard to see myself without him,
I felt a piece of my heart break,
But when you're standing at a cross road
There's a choice you gotta make.

[Chorus:]
I guess it's gonna have to hurt,
I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
And let go of some things I've loved,
To get to the other side,
I guess it's gonna break me down,
Like falling when you're trying to fly,
It's sad but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life,
starts with goodbye.

I know there's a blue horizon,
Somewhere up ahead, just waiting for me,
Getting there means leaving things behind,
Sometimes life's so bitter sweet.

[Chorus:]
I guess it's gonna have to hurt,
I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
And let go of some things ive loved to get to the other side
I guess it's gonna break me down,
Like falling when you're trying to fly,
It's sad but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life,
Starts with goodbye

Time, time heals,
The wounds that you feel,
Somehow, right now.

[Chorus:]
I guess it's gonna have to hurt,
I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
And let go of some things I've loved,
To get to the other side,
I guess it's gonna break me down,
Like falling when you're trying to fly,
It's sad but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life,

[Chorus:]
Starts with goodbye,
I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
And let go of some things I've loved,
To get to the other side,
Starts with goodbye,
I guess it's gonna break me down,
It's sad but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life,

Starts with goodbye,
Na na na na na na na na na...

So basically any girl whos ever had to break up with ther boyfriend that they love but they no that its better for them not to be with him can relate to this song. I no i personally can since i recently had to do it. This song may be old but i think any girl who hears it will never forget it!

This song pretty much keeps me alive now that me and my boyfriend have broken up a little over two weeks ago.
Great christmas present, huh?
Well, it's keeping me alive.

It's an absolutely beautiful song.
It holds so much meaning.
So much experience to it.

this song is so amazing! i just broke up with my boyfriend last month. we were fighting and he was so far away and things weren't working out for us so i thought it was time to let him go before we hated each other, but he didn't understand. it was time for me to say goodbye and i was ready to move on with the rest of my life!

Perfect song. Sounds familiar in the chorus. But definitely gonna be a love icon. Maybe one of her next single? Very top-notched.
