Kelly Clarkson Goodbye Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You didn't destroy me though you tried (Though you tried)
I am a flame that doesn't die
Don't mind the bridges I've burned, they kept you by my side (Side)
I get this one life and I won't give you mine

[Refrain]
Goodbye
Goodbye

[Verse 2]
How dare you hurt me while holdin' my hand?
That kind of love, I'll never understand
There is a difference between what we want and we need
And I've cried an ocean between you and me
[Refrain]
You know I tried (I tried), I tried
Goodbye

[Chorus]
Thought you were different, but you held your aim
Right at my heart, I'm a sucker for pain
Our family portraits and designer dreams
Become so worthless when you're not what you seem
You're not what you seem

[Verse 3]
But you didn't destroy me though you tried (You know you tried) You'll think about me, but in time, you'll slip my mind (In time, you'll slip my mind)
You're not the first one to cut me, you get no prize
I get this one life

[Refrain]
Goodbye (You were always tellin' me how I made you a better man)
Goodbye (Promises mean nothin' when you don't know how to listen)
Goodbye (You were always tellin' me how I made you a better man)
Goodbye (Promises mean nothin' when you don't know how to listen)
Goodbye (You were always tellin' me how I made you a better man)
Goodbye (Promises mean nothin' when you don't know how to listen)
Goodbye (You were always tellin' me how I made you a better man)
Goodbye (Promises mean nothin' when you don't know how to listen)
[Outro]
Goodbye
