'Cause I'm gonna leave you
And I won't say goodbye
And everything will be bad for a little while
But you'll be okay
You've got this, you'll be fine
Because you'll move on without me
You'll stop asking why

And one day when you're older
And you think of your friend
Just know that I'm happy
You made it out in the end
You'll carry on loving
Darling, don't you ever lose that smile
Because everything will be good after a little while

So be patient, my darling
Soon you'll be fine
Because I left you so quickly
And I didn't say goodbye
Think how awful it would have been
If I'd stuck around to say
That I'm leaving you tomorrow
That this is our last day

I kept it in my head
You'll thank me very soon
Because now you can see the stars
And not see me in the moon
I know you hate me now
And that's okay, you're just sad
Because I know that what I did
Was awful, god, so bad

Please don't cry though, darling
Because you know that this is true
I don't think I could have done it
If I'd said goodbye to you
And it's good I did it, see
Though you may not see it now
But I've finally stopped my head
In the only way that I knew how

So I know that I've left you
And everything hurts a lot
But it's going to be better now
I've saved us with a shot

So cheers to you, my darling
You've made it through another year!
I'm so proud to see you happy
Without me being here
I knew the day would come
When you eventually saw the good
In me building up the courage
And finally doing what I should

So I know that I left you
And I didn't say goodbye
But look at you now, my darling
You're still living and god,
You don't even have to try
