Analysis of Goodbye
I know tonight on her bed she'll lay
Feeling down and upset
Knowing I haven't seen her throughout the day
Hoping sleep can make her forget
Tears soaking her pillow
Wishing to me, she could fly
In her room stuck like hay in a silo
Knowing all I would say is bye
Forgiving me,I hope she may
But sometimes goodbye is the best way
