I count the ways I let you downAll my fingers and toes but I'm running outClever words can't help me nowI grip you tight but you're slipping out
And I remember your eyes were so brightWhen I first met you, so in love that nightAnd now I'm kissing your tears goodnightAnd I can't take it, you're even perfect when you cry
Beautiful goodbye (bye-bye, bye-bye)It's dripping from your eyes (bye-bye, bye-bye)Your beautiful goodbye (bye-bye, bye-bye)It's dripping from your eyes (bye-bye, bye-bye)Oh yeah
When did the rain become a storm?When did the clouds begin to form?Yeah, we got knocked off course by a natural forceAnd we'll, we'll be swimming when it's gone
And I remember your eyes were so brightWhen I first met you, so in love that nightAnd now I'm kissing your tears goodnightAnd I can't take it, you're even perfect when you cry
Beautiful goodbye (bye-bye, bye-bye)It's dripping from your eyes (bye-bye, bye-bye)Your beautiful goodbye (bye-bye, bye-bye)It's dripping from your eyes (bye-bye, bye-bye)Oh yeah
All the pain you try to hideShows through your mascara linesAs they stream down from your eyes
And let them go, let them flyHolding back won't turn back timeBelieve me, I've tried
Your eyes were so brightAnd I remember your eyes were so brightAnd I remember your eyes were so brightWhen I first met you, how in love were we that night?And now I'm kissing your tears goodnightAnd I can't take it, you're even perfect when you cry
Beautiful goodbye (bye-bye, bye-bye)It's dripping from your eyes (bye-bye, bye-bye)Your beautiful goodbye (bye-bye, bye-bye)It's dripping from your eyes (bye-bye, bye-bye)Yeah
Beau... Oh, oh yeahHey, oh
