Wave Goodbye

Words get tangled on your tongue and you stumble on your feet
When you miss somebody
And everywhere you think you see them walking down the street
When you miss somebody, oh yeah

When you miss somebody
You tell yourself a hundred thousand times
Nobody ever lives forever so you give it one more try
To wave goodbye, wave goodbye, oh

Every hurtful thing you ever said is ringing in your ear
When you miss somebody
And everything of beauty that you see only brings a tear
When you miss somebody, oh

When you miss somebody
You tell yourself everything will be alright
Try to stand up strong and brave
When all you want to do is lay down and die

How long I've waited for an answer or a sign
Lonely and weary from this troubled task of trying
To wave goodbye

So now you start to recognize that every single path you see
Leads to a tear in your eye, so wave goodbye, wave goodbye
Wave goodbye, wave goodbye
