[Intro]

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 bye (No, no, no)

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 bye

[Verse 1]

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 because you loved me, and obviously

There's so much more left to say

If you were with me today, face-to-face

[Chorus]

I never knew I could hurt like this

And every day life rolls on

I wish I could talk to you for a while

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

Now the hardest thing to do is say bye bye

[Post-Chorus]

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye

Bye bye, bye bye

[Verse 2]

And you never got a 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 to me that I held so tight

I thought you were so strong, you'd make it through whatever

It's so hard to accept the fact you're gone forever

[Chorus]

I never knew I could hurt like this

And every day life rolls on

I wish I could talk to you for a while

Miss you, but I try not to cry

As time goes by (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

Now the hardest thing to do is say bye bye (Oh)

[Post-Chorus]

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye (The hardest thing to say, bye)

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye (Bye)

Bye bye (Bye bye)

[Bridge]

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 bye (No, no, no)

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 bye

Bye

[Chorus]

Never knew I could hurt like this (I never knew it)

And every day life rolls on (Every day of life, I wish)

I wish I could talk to you for a while (I wish)

Miss you, but I try not to cry (I wish)

As time goes by (I'm wishin' 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 (And be right here next to you)

But it's like you're gone too soon

Now the hardest thing to do is say bye bye

[Outro]

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye (It's hard to say bye bye, bye bye, bye bye)

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye (So come on, somebody sing it with me)

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye (Wave your hands up high)

Bye bye (Hey)

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye (So this is for my peoples who just lost somebody)

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye (So this is for everybody)

Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye (Just keep your hands to the sky)

Bye bye, bye bye ('Cause we will never say bye bye)
