Well I've been on the wrong side

Of the front door too often

Watched you slam it in my face

Well I may have learned the hard way

I'm not a soft one

Tonight I'm standin in your place



Cause you taught me a lot about leavin

Won't even have to try

So here's your lesson in heartache and grievin

And a chance for you to cry

Cause it's time you learned about goodbye



I've stood behind you

And I've laid beside you

But I won't do that anymore

Cause I'm tired of bein

Just here when you want me

Tonight I'm walkin out that door



Cause you taught me a lot about leavin

Won't even have to try

So here's your lesson in heartache and grievin

And a chance for you to cry

Cause it's time you learned about goodbye



It's time you learned about goodbye
