Bye Bye

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say goodbye
Mama's, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
'Cause we will never say goodbye

As a child, there were them times
I didn't get it but you kept me in line
I didn't know why you didn't show up sometimes on Sunday mornings
And I missed you, but I'm glad we talked through
All them grown folk things, separation brings
You never let me know it, you never let it show it
'Cause you love me, and obviously
There's so much more left to say
If you were with me today, face to face

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday, life goes on
I wish I could talk to you for a while
I miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by
And it's true that you've reached a better place
Still I'd give the world to see your face
And be right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
And the hardest thing to do is say bye bye

Bye bye bye bye bye bye
Bye bye bye bye bye bye
Bye bye bye bye bye bye
Bye bye

And you never got the chance to see how good I've done
And you never got to see me back at number one
I wish that you were here to celebrate together
I wish that we could spend the holidays together
I remember when you used to tuck me in at night
With the teddy bear you gave me that I held so tight
I thought you were so strong, we'd make it through whatever
It's so hard to accept the fact you're gone forever

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday, life goes on
I wish I could talk to you for a while
I miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by
And it's true that you've reached a better place
Still I'd give the world to see your face
And be right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
And the hardest thing to do is say bye bye

Bye bye bye bye bye bye
Bye bye bye bye bye bye
Bye bye bye bye bye bye
Bye bye
