AJAYE

Lyrics

You took the road most traveled on till those yellow lines were gone
You’d pick up the phone when lonely called
Who to run from, who to trust, had to learn it more than once
You used the stones they threw to build your walls

But tonight I’ll raise a glass to you
For all the things you got us through
The messes and lessons and the blows
We’ve both got some dreams to spare but we’ll never get anywhere
And we know one of us has gotta go
It’s time to let this woman meet the world
So, goodbye girl

You gave in first, collected last with your name on the welcome mat
You’d take a stranger’s promise to the bank
But you wiped the tears and lipstick off
burned your doubts and second thoughts
We’re here now and I’ve got you to thank

So tonight I’ll raise a glass to you
For all the things you got us through
The messes and lessons and the blows
We’ve both got some dreams to spare
But we’ll never get anywhere
And we know one of us has gotta go
It’s time to let this woman meet the world
So, goodbye girl

Don’t be sad
Looking back I know you did the best with what you had
Every scar and every mistake
All your broken pieces made me who I am today

So tonight I’ll raise a glass to you
For all the troubles and the truths
Cause I couldn’t learn it any other way
It’s hard to watch you disappear
But I can take the reins from here
Cause I ain’t gonna grow up if you stay
It’s time to let this woman meet the world
So, goodbye girl
Goodbye girl
