Brother he don't come round anymore
Packed his bags and then he slammed the door
Woke up sick and tired of life's cruel jokes
Like why we hurt the ones we love the most

Honey was a mother and a wife
It's been one of those days all of her life
Said that she was moving to the coast
Where they don't hurt the ones they love the most

They say goodbye, say goodbye
Their faces white as snow
We always hurt the ones we love the most

Hotel sign says please do not disturb
Better bite your tongue and eat your words
Talking's only gonna make things worse
And you will hurt the ones you love the most

So say goodbye, say goodbye
To all that you hold close
You're on your knees with nowhere left to go
Tell me why, tell me why
Heaven only knows
Why we hurt the ones we love the most

Sister don't know who she wants to be
Halfway from a teardrop to the sea
She was born with genius and soul
Still she hurts the one she loves the most

Say goodbye, say goodbye
Vanish like a ghost
So you won't hurt the ones you love the most
Say goodbye, say goodbye
I'm leaving 'cause I know
That I will hurt the ones
I will hurt the ones I love the most
